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.

THE MARKET closed modestly higher, buttressed by another storming day for BT. The FTSE 100 finished 0.1 per cent, 7.7 points, higher at 6,653.7, well down from its session high of 6,694.2.

The big story was the announcement that Freeserve had signed up with BT Cellnet to send Web services, such as e-mail, share prices and sports results, to mobile phones. Investors flocked to both shares; Freeserve climbed 29 per cent to 372p.
