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.

ITV is blaming an early summer heat wave for attracting the lowest FA Cup final viewing figures in 10 years last weekend.

An overall average of 7.8 million viewers tuned in to the Arsenal vs Newcastle United match at Wembley on ITV, with 900,000 turning to the simultaneous live coverage on Sky. ITV's share of the total viewing audience, in its first exclusive terrestrial broadcast of the fixture, was 65 per cent throughout.
