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.

There's a lot of chat in adland about the death of long copy in ads. Gone (almost) are the days of a beautifully crafted story to accompany a striking image in the commercial spaces between the editorial words.

Consumers, the thinking goes, haven't got the time or the inclination to read what an advertiser has to say. And ad agencies, the thinking goes, haven't got the craft skills required to write engaging copy. Either way, Bartle Bogle Hegarty's new press ads for Audi have no words and don't miss them. This is print advertising at its best: bold, impactful and memorable. No words necessary.
