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 families of six victims of the Hillsborough stadium disaster in 1989 failed in their attempt at the High Court to win a new inquest into the deaths.
Lord Justice McCowan and Mr Justice Turner rejected their claim that the accidental death verdict returned in 1991 was misleading because crucial evidence was suppressed and the inquest was conducted improperly. The judges said conduct of the inquest had been 'impeccable'.
