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.

SHARES closed higher in light trade as sharp gains in selective stocks offset profit-taking, dealers said. The Mibtel index closed up 150 points at 24,329, while the blue-chip Mib30 rose by 195 to 35,320.

Mediaset surged 4 per cent on speculation it could exercise an option to buy 10 per cent of Italy's leading pay-TV company Telepiu from Canal Plus. This could herald a war for subscribers with Stream, the pay-TV unit of Telecom Italia, bought into by Rupert Murdoch at the weekend.
