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.

Police investigating the murder of Dublin crime journalist Veronica Guerin have seized more than 100 guns and broken up three criminal gangs since her shooting last June.

Detectives last night said they had narrowed the list of suspects for Ms Guerin's death down to a small number of criminals.

The killing is not thought to have been carried out by contact killers, as first by believed, but by gunmen acting on the orders of a known crime boss, who feared that the journalist was on the point of exposing major drugs-trafficking activities.
