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 new Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company has been named.

Gregory Doran, the current Chief Associate Director, replaces Michael Boyd, who announced he was stepping down last September.

Mr Doran joined the company 25 years ago as an actor and said he was "delighted" at the appointment. He added: "Michael Boyd and [Executive Director] Vikki Heywood have done an exceptional job, rebuilding the theatre and reasserting the principles of ensemble and collaboration, which I hope to continue."

He will formally take the post in September.
