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.

WHENEVER on television or the radio I hear a member of the public, prompted no doubt by a thrusting journalist, demand to know who is responsible for this or that, I usually wonder what he or she would do with the information if given it. Often the question is mindless rhetoric which receives the response it deserves: and no one is any the wiser or better informed for having listened or watched.

I try to conduct my life and relationships avoiding the words 'fault' and 'blame'. This is because I believe once either is used, truth goes underground seldom to reappear.
