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.

A good day for:

rich Japanese golfers, with the launch of a $250 camera with 16 lenses that takes 16 pictures, to provide a golfer with a complete picture of his swing. It is voice- activated for solo use and has variable time between pictures - slow on the backswing, faster at the club reaches the ball.

A bad day for:

South African wives, following a statement by senator George Mashamba that: "Among some people in this country, for a man to express his love for his wife, he must beat her sometimes." His wife, Joyce, later said that her husband's comments did not reflect his personal views.
