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.
Where they stand: the interested parties
Pleased to have given less ground than Cameron. The fact talks were held in his office will not harm Ed Miliband’s leadership credentials. He says the deal will protect ‘future victims’ of press intrusion, while Nick Clegg says it is ‘everything I had hoped for’.
Mulling his next move. In a joint statement with The Telegraph and News International, the Daily Mail Group says the draft charter contains ‘several deeply contentious issues’ which have not yet been resolved.
Had to soften his position more than his opponents did. Although he claims to be ‘delighted’ at the deal, he will anxiously await the reaction of the brooding Tory press.
Very happy. The Royal Charter plan, it says, will ‘effectively deliver’ Lord Justice Leveson’s recommendations.
After such a painstaking inquiry, perhaps bemused that his recommendations were not implemented in full. But unlikely to be too concerned, as he is currently in Australia.
