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.

Arcadia finds a fit on the Net

Unveiling its results for the year to 29 August 1998, chief executive John Hoerner (left) said Arcadia's website had attracted 48,000 registered users, 40 per cent from outside the UK. Talks have already started with cable television companies about an interactive TV shopping channel. Pro-forma profits in the year rose 18.1 per cent to pounds 81.1m. The shares fell 7p to 273p.
