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 Independent has received a number of nominations for the 2013 Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards.

Independent Voices, our comment platform, which has just celebrated its first birthday online, is shortlisted in the Online Comment Site category.

Patrick Cockburn, our esteemed foreign correspondent, is nominated in the category of Best Foreign Commentator – read his agenda-setting World View column, which has led the way on Iraq and Syria recently, here.

And in the Twittersphere, John Rentoul (@johnrentoul), The Independent on Sunday’s chief political commentator, and Owen Jones (@owenjones84), whose Monday column attracts an ever-increasing audience, are both in the running for the Twitter Public Personality award.

We wish them good luck.
