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.

A private company is set to be given the final go-ahead to take over the running of a "failing" NHS hospital, according to reports.

The Treasury has given the green light for Circle Healthcare to take over the management of the debt-ridden Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire, according to reports last night.

It was first announced in November that Circle was to be awarded the management franchise to run the hospital after being selected from a shortlist of three.
