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.After a year in which her reporting from the uprisings in Libya and Egypt has enhanced Alex Crawford's reputation as a fearless foreign correspondent, the Sky News journalist said she was "staggered and honoured" to have been appointed OBE.
A three-time winner of the Royal Television Society's Journalist of the Year award, she has previously joked that she only required one more prize to have one for each of her four children. Crawford, 49, said the honour was recognition of the work of her colleagues. "It's a genuine team effort," she said.
