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.

As the obituaries for Eldorado rolled, Gary Bushell of the Sun chimed in with a two-paragraph eulogy on the merits of Pilar's figure, followed by a recommendation she transfers to EastEnders. Elsewhere, Blockbusters, the long-standing children's quiz show that is soon to be axed from the ITV schedules, looks set to continue its life on BSkyB; Jeremy Beadle's car was crashed by a mystery driver, and Chris Evans (who could now make news if he blew his nose) bought a new house. Least flattering portrayal of the week was Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan's, husband-and-wife presenters of This Morning, who went on holiday followed, unwittingly, by numerous tabloid photographers.
