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.

Channel 4's chief executive, Michael Grade, confirms that the station's board is considering an alliance with another big player, in the way that the BBC has linked up with Pearson. But with its most marketable assets and experience in low-budget films, it may veer towards film distribution, rather than a golden repeats service.
The Independent Television Commission's annual programme performance review, for 1994, is published today, the second since the new auctioned franchises came into operation. GMTV, last year judged to have made a very poor start, is likely to receive only minor raps for too many Disney programmes and other blemishes on its children's service. But the good news for investors from the managing director, Christopher Stoddart, is that it has started to make profits, though dividends are probably two years away.
