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.Someone at least has learnt the lesson of the Hutton inquiry. John Caudwell, the multi-millionaire boss of the mobile phone shop Phones 4u, has banned his staff from using e-mail.
Andrew Gilligan must sometimes wish he worked selling mobile phones rather than prompting MPs electronically to reveal his colleague's source.
Jo Moore, too, might have appreciated Mr Caudwell's advice while she was engaged in the drudgery of news management.
As would all of us who have accidentally sent "I don't love her really" or "My boss is a pig" to the wrong address.
You do not have to go as far as Mr Caudwell, whose staff will no doubt now just say what they think of him on the phone. But remember: just read it again before you press send.
