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.

Sir: I am most grateful to you for publishing (Magazine, 20 March) Professor Edward de Bono's account of how he writes so many books rapidly and without trouble. I had for years thought, when trying and failing to make much headway with his productions, that the fault was in my own intelligence; but now I see the justice of what Sheridan wrote, when faced with a review copy of one of the Professor's early books:

You write with ease, to show your breeding,

But easy writing's vile hard reading.
