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 Independent has been nominated for Daily Newspaper of the Year at the London Press Club Awards, following a phenomenal year packed with successful campaigns and exclusives.
In the past 12 months, this newspaper has successfully toppled minister Nadhim Zahawi after uncovering dodgy tax dealings, forced the closure of a private hospital following an investigation into the abuse of teenagers, and campaigned to get an Afghan pilot at risk of deportation to Rwanda asylum in the UK.
Reaching an average of 100 million readers each month, the paper now ranks as one of the world’s leading quality digital news outlets. Meanwhile, The Independent is now positioned amongst the 10 biggest online news brands in the US.
Travel correspondent Simon Calder and chief international correspondent Bel Trew have also both been shortlisted in the Multimedia Journalist of the Year category.
Reporting on the summer travel chaos at Dover and the air traffic control meltdown, Mr Calder has appeared on BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain, Sky News and more.
