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.

i, the sister paper of The Independent, has been named National Newspaper of the Year at the 2015 News Awards.

The judges said: “The winner has clearly identified its market and been unswerving in catering to it. The achievement of launching a quality national in a declining market is remarkable.

"The concept of a concise, quality briefing at a great value price is obviously what a lot of readers want. Add to that great design and great photography and it’s got to be a winner.”

i100 was shortlisted for News Website of the Year and Most Innovative Use of Mobile Technology, while The Independent was shortlisted for Newspaper of the Year and the overall “Grand Prix”.
