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.

Does the traditional still hold sway or would more modern structures make it on to your list of the top 21?

Which are the landmarks that define Britain? Stonehenge, Canterbury Cathedral or the Tower of London probably spring to mind. However, the nation's architecture is advancing at an almost unprecedented pace, making it high time to celebrate the icons that define 21st-century Britain. In association with British Airways High Life magazine, we are inviting you to nominate the 21 landmarks that represent the UK today.

Suffolk's Balancing Barn or Heathrow Terminal 5 might top your list – submit your choice, old or new, at highlife.ba.com/21landmarks from Wednesday 1 April. The list will then be put to a panel of experts, with the results revealed in these pages in August.

From these submissions, a winner will be selected, at random, to enjoy an overnight stay for two at the ultimate London landmark hotel, Claridge's, with dinner at Fera and breakfast included (020 7629 8860; claridges.co.uk).
