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.Tobacco advertising IT WAS stated last week ("Tobacco firms fight ad ban", 8 August) that government ministers were preparing emergency legislation to ban tobacco advertising to thwart an unexpected legal challenge in the High Court from tobacco firms. This is not the case. The Government "reserves the right" to introduce primary legislation on this issue if it wishes.
Shopping therapy IN THE report about the retail civil recovery programmes against shoplifters ("Stores demand second `fine' from thieves", 8 August) Retail Loss Prevention, the company that set up the programme, was misnamed Retail Loss Recovery.
The wrong Kevin IN MICHAEL Booth's article about hackers ("The cowboys of cyberspace", Review, 8 August), the young men with the "Free Kevin" sticker on their laptop were not campaigning for Kevin Poulson (who is not in jail), but for Kevin Mitnick, who has been held on remand in a US jail since 1995 and was sentenced last week to remain there until January 2000.
