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.

United News sells to Candover

UNITED NEWS & Media, Lord Hollick's media group, yesterday confirmed the long-awaited sale of the last of its regional newspapers to a group led by Candover, the venture capital group, for pounds 360m. United News said it also agreed to sell its UPN Espana unit to Hebdo Mag International Group for pounds 42.75m. The sale agreements mark a further step in the consolidation of regional newspapers, as media companies rationalise their diverse operations.
