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.

The British film industry yesterday received a pounds 200m boost when a Hertfordshire aerodrome, which was the set for the latest James Bond film Goldeneye , became Britain's newest film studio.

Leavesden aerodrome, bought by the Malaysian-based Millenium Group Limited, will have the largest backlot - outside filming area - in the world and is expected to create 3,000 new jobs over three years.

The company said work on the former Rolls-Royce aero-engine factory will involve further investment of pounds 150m.
