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.Last week, we revealed the most influential MPs on Twitter . Of course, they weren’t the first to use the social network – amongst many others, the bloggers got there first.
Many politicians are running just a little bit scared of the bloggers, who are having an increasing influence on ‘mainstream media’ – but who should they be most afraid of? Using Livewire, our new live politics twitter feed, and the Mr Tweet API, these are the top ten most influential bloggers on Twitter – based on a combination of followers, mentions and outgoing links to stories.
