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.

Average daily sales of the Independent rose by 13,000 to 294,000 last year - a 4.5 per cent increase over the average daily sales in 1994.

By contrast, daily sales of the Guardian fell by nearly 4,000 on average, according to the official figures released yesterday by the Audit Bureau of Circulation.

The Independent's circulation also gained in December, when average daily sales were 7,000 better than the same month in 1994. Average daily sales of the Guardian were 3,000 lower than in December the previous year.

The Independent on Sunday enjoyed similar gains last year, with its average circulation rising 4,000 in 1995 to 323,000. Average weekly sales of the Observer fell by 29,000.
