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.

The resort

Banish those Ashes blues. The Cobblers Cove resort in Barbados is launching a cricket academy for younger guests during the Easter holidays. It will cost from £30 per child per day (cobblerscove.com).

The camera

Nikon's new entry-level DSLR, the D3300, is a lightweight 24.2-megapixel camera with continuous shooting speeds of up to five frames-per-second and Wi-Fi; £499.99 excluding kit (nikon.co.uk).

The hotel

Le Grand Bellevue has reopened in Gstaad. Under new ownership and looking dashing after a hefty refit, the hotel now sports 57 contemporary rooms, a fine-dining bistro and spa (bellevue-gstaad.com).
