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.

With plans under way for Discovery Channel to create its own paid-for games for iPhone, PC and consoles, plus two mobile titles already in the pipeline, it’s clear that the TV station is keen to enter the gaming fray. But for those not willing to wait until the release next year of Discovery Trivia, there are plenty of free titles on offer on the channel’s website. The Colony, based on the show currently on air in the US, sees players having to survive in a post-apocalyptic urban environment. Halo it’s not, but as a freebie, it’s pretty neat.
