Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Executives of the Thomson Corporation will meet today to examine bids for the Scotsman newspaper and Thomson's other Scottish titles, which were put on the market in July.

Six companies were understood to have lodged bids by last night's deadline. Among them are Caledonian Publishing, owners of the Glasgow Herald, Northcliffe Newspapers, which publishes 48 regional newspapers in England and Wales, a consortium of Conservative business leaders, and DC Thomson, publishers of the Dundee Courier and Sunday Post newspapers.
