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.o Thorn EMI continues to generate excitement and the shares shot- up 41p to a high of pounds 15.68 in early dealings, as a rumour circulated that Rupert Murdoch was keen to buy the company's music business. The media baron has previously made known his interest in a music business and will not have the field to himself. Disney and Viacom are also in the hunt, and there is a growing belief that either may mount a full blown pounds 17 a share bid for Thorn EMI. Shares finally closed at pounds 15.27, up 10p.
o There was talk that Norcros was about to dispose of its printing and packaging operations. API, steady at 514p, and Bemrose, also unchanged at 397p, are tipped as the likely buyers. Norcros shares stand at 84p, a far cry from the 209p they traded at early last year.
