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.

WANT a hit movie? Cast a model. While MTAs (Model Turned Actress) used to be judged the kiss of death to a film (remember Tatjana Patitz in Rising Sun? Hopefully you don't), now everyone in Hollywood wants one.

Enter Cameron Diaz, following in the footsteps of celluloid sirens Elle Macpherson and Andie 'Four Weddings and a Worldwide Smash' McDowell. Diaz, who is signed with Elite model agency and is a Spanish Vogue cover favourite, makes her debut in Mask opposite Jim 'Ace Ventura: Pet detective' Carrey. The movie, which has taken dollars 25m in its first weekend, opens in the UK on 19 August.
