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 POOR appeal of this year's men's Wimbledon final between the characterless Pete Sampras and Jim Courier was reflected in the viewing figures. Only 7.56 million switched on compared to 10.89 million for last year's sexier battle between Goran Ivanisevic and Andre Agassi. The ladies' final attracted 7.10 million compared to last year's 7.13 million. The allegedly all-improved Eldorado celebrated its second-last week on air by dropping out of BBC1's top 30 programmes. Jonathan Ross's Fantastic Facts has a new fact to consider - it no longer features in ITV's top 30. Last week's viewing figures incorrectly stated that 2.52 million watched the last Cheers episode. It should have been 4.9 million.
