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.

It’s official – Nintendo is the greatest company on Earth (well, according to Business Week, anyway).

The publication has awarded the Japanese games giant its highest accolade ahead of stiff competition in the form of both Apple and Google. The Wii is credited with a slice of the company’s success; it’s described by Business Week as “a true disrupter of the entertainment industry”, proving that “the game maker [has] been able to create newhardware without sticking to conventional notions in the video game industry”.
