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.IAN JACK, editor of the Independent on Sunday since 1991, has resigned to edit the literary magazine Granta.
In a statement, Mr Jack said that he left the paper with great regret. "I am proud of its achievements as a newspaper with a distinctive quality and intelligence, and I am lucky to have worked with an enthusiastic, talented and hard-working staff. The Independent titles are a free and important voice in the British media and they need to survive. I wish them, and the people who make them, well."
Andreas Whittam Smith, chairman and founder of Newspaper Publishing plc, said: "I very much regret Ian's departure. He has been an ideal editor. He has created a newspaper which speaks with a sympathetic voice to its readers."
Mr Jack worked for the Sunday Times from 1970-86; he was associate editor of the Independent on Sunday when it launched in 1990.
