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 American election, which yesterday saw Donald Trump secure himself a second term as US president, dominates front pages across the UK as the world reacts to the change-up within the White House.

The Times,  the Daily Telegraph, and the Financial Times all played it straight down the line.

The Guardian led with a front that sums up how many around the world may have felt in the wake of yesterday’s result.

The Daily Mirror offered up a similar vibe to its readers.

The Independent and the Daily Mail both dubbed Mr Trump’s return to the Oval Office as his “greatest comeback”.

The front page of the i summed up the result in one word: “Landslide”.

The Sun used one of Mr Trump’s previous jobs – host for the US version of reality TV show The Apprentice – to spice up its headline with: “You’re Rehired.”

The Daily Express kept to the black-and-white reality of the matter.

Lastly, the Daily Star went with: “Awkward.”
