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.Olympic officials have denied reports that the privately funded Atlanta Games, which lacked the usual safety net of state financial support, lost money.
Francois Carrard, the director general, said the International Olympic Committee has yet to receive a financial report on the Games, but denied rumours of a deficit.
"We have not had a final account yet. There is talk of a modest profit but there is no talk of a deficit," he said.
John Krinsky, of the US Olympic Committee, added: "Good news for me is anything [in the] black."
