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.

A report commissioned by the Trent Regional Health Authority has found that men working for women managers consider their bosses weak, poor communicators and unable to delegate. Women saw their female bosses as democratic, putting people before tasks and encouraging staff development. The research seeks to determine why only 11 per cent of the RHA's senior management are women. In the NHS nationally, only 18 per cent of senior managers are women. This needs to increase to 30 per cent by next year to achieve an Opportunity 2000 target.
