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 70-strong staff of Adam & Eve, the independent agency that is behind hit advertising for the department stores chain John Lewis, yesterday landed an estimated £60m windfall as it was sold to the US giant Omnicom.

The four co-founders, who will stay with the firm, will collect the lion's share, but all staff at the London agency will receive a payment. Adam & Eve will be merged with Omnicom's DDB, creating the UK's sixth largest advertising agency in terms of revenues.

Adam & Eve also counts Google and Cadbury's among its clients.
