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.JOB-SEEKERS jammed the switchboard of the Millennium Dome's operators yesterday as recruitment began of 2,000 hosts for the exhibition.
Staff are being tempted with pay for the year of up to pounds 18,500. The pounds 6 hourly rate - rising to pounds 7 for senior hosts - will be doubled on New Year's Eve when the Dome opens in Greenwich, said the New Millennium Experience Company.
About 1,000 of the new workers will be on duty for the opening - on up to pounds 200 for the shift.
Hosts' responsibilities will include greeting visitors and encouraging them to participate.
Raj Pragasam, the company's human-resources director, said the wages would be well above the going rate for similar jobs in theme parks. He added: "The jobs will also enable those working to be in the most exciting place to work during the year 2000."
