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.

A 36-year-old angler caused a wave of protest during a fishing competition after going into battle with a secret weapon - a hi-tech echo sounder that helps to find fish.

Roger Mortimer used the pounds 325 sonar device in a fishing competition on the River Glen near Spalding, Lincolnshire. His rivals claim that the device gave him an unfair advantage after it helped him to catch 374 small fish and scoop the pounds 60 fourth prize.
