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.

Robbie Williams won the MTV Europe Music Award for best male singer last night at a ceremony watched by an audience of a billion pop fans around the world.

The American Jennifer Lopez was named best female singer but chose not to attend the ceremony in Frankfurt after the 11 September attacks.

Best R&B award went to Craig David and Best Group was won by the US nu-metal band Limp Bizkit. Gorillaz, the group formed by the Blur frontman, Damon Albarn, who were nominated for six awards, won two. Dido was named best new act. The awards, hosted by Ali G, are designed to honour the best musicians in Europe, although Americans figured heavily in many categories.
