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.

Robert Fisk (right), The Independent's Middle East Correspondent, was last night declared the winner of the Foreign Press Association's 1996 British Media Awards for his reporting on Algeria.

The award was given for "the best foreign story written in the British press by a UK journalist based overseas".

It was Robert's third award this year. His reporting has now earned him 14 awards, including British International Journalist of the Year seven times, the "What the Papers Say" award twice, the United Nations Press Award, the Johns Hopkins-SAIS-CIBA Prize for International Journalism, the Irish Radio Jacobs Award and the James Cameron Award.

The Independent's Robert Block was commended for his reporting on Bosnia, and Sarah Helm was commended for her reporting on Croatia.
