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.

AN OLD chestnut is suddenly showing signs of life. Avesco, a perpetually loss-making electronics firm, has climbed back to 80p following gyrations between 14p and 165p over the past four years. This time the rise could be real: it is due to a new chip being produced by Avesco's Videologic subsidiary in conjunction with IBM, which could transform the humble PC into an all-singing 'multi-media' instrument, combining TV and video pictures. One believer is SG Warburg, which deigned to help with the recent rights issue that the market absorbed without a blink. Avesco remains a gamble but, for the first time, worth a punt.
