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.

Grey Advertising doesn’t often find itself basking in praise. Particularly not for its creative work. But change has been on the agenda for 2008 and, just in the nick of time, they’ve unleashed an ad that has the industry taking notice.

Grey’s campaign is a technical wonder, just like Toshiba’s LCD televisions apparently. It uses a souped-up version of a technique called ‘bullet time’, which basically shows people repeating the same action, a bit like a stuck record, while others come and go around them in real time. It’s breathtaking and mesmerisingly watchable. And I honestly can’t think of another Grey ad, ever, that I’d say that about.
