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.After French magazine Closer published topless pictures of Kate on holiday last week, Italian magazine Chi is planning a 26-page photo special of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on holiday in the south of France.
Set to run in an edition next week, editor Alfonso Signorini said not even a call from the Queen could stop him printing the paparazzi shots. He added:
"If I had had more scandalous photos I would have willingly published them."
St James's Palace announced this weekend that it is suing original publisher Closer for what it described as a 'gross invasion of privacy'. They confirmed that the royal couple would be making a criminal complaint against the photographer or photographers responsible for taking the pictures.
Nearly two decades ago, Princess Diana sued the Sunday Mirror and Daily Mirror over secretly-taken pictures of her in a gym and won an injunction preventing further publication.
No newspaper or magazine in Britain has announced plans to publish the offending photographs - not even The Sun.
