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.

Yesterday international mediators ended two days of talks with Bosnia's warring factions without agreement on dividing up the former Yugoslav republic. Bosnian Serbs accused Muslim leaders of making 'megalomaniac demands' for territory at the latest round of peace talks, held in the French lakeside resort of Talloires.
The talks did bring an agreement for Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslims to meet again soon to try to end the war. While the politicians squabbled over maps of their devastated country, their armies were reported to be battling for territory in northern Bosnia.
