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.

On 20th June 1992 we published an article on the Guinness family following the death of Lord Iveagh which unfortunately repeated the canard that the tragic death of Olivia Channon in 1986 was caused by drugs supplied by her cousin Sebastian.
This allegation, which was widely but quite wrongly reported at the time, is totally untrue. Sebastian Guinness never supplied drugs to Olivia Channon and he is not in any manner whatsoever responsible for her death. We apologise to Mr Guinness for the distress and embarrassment caused to him by our inadvertent repetition of this unfounded allegation.
