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.

REUTERS Holdings should post a 13 per cent rise in pre-tax profits to pounds 385m on Tuesday. But what of the future?

Close followers are worried that it will issue a bearish trading statement, pointing to stagnation in the financial markets and the rising cost of obtaining information. If Reuters' main business has gone ex-growth, it has a growing cash pile to throw at new areas. TV looks like its chosen avenue.

The shares, at pounds 14, command the sort of earnings multiple that accompanies a fast-growing company. Expect a rerating downwards.
