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.

Who's kidding now?: "I think the title is beyond us now. We are not good enough to compete with the best teams at the moment" - Gianluca Vialli, having pledged to stay out of the Premiership's kidology wars, tries to lure Manchester United and Arsenal into a false sense of security.

His master's voice: "Ron is very excited about the win but he cannot talk to you about it because his voice has gone" - Forest No 2 Peter Shreeves explains Ron Atkinson's absence from the Selhurst Park press conference (although oddly his vocal chords recovered for the TV microphones).

In-depth analysis: "There's no two ways about it - we were absolute crap" - Danny Wilson outlines the finer points of Sheffield Wednesday's performance against Leeds.
