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 six-year-old Norfolk Terrier saw off competition from nearly 22,000 other dogs to win Best In Show at Crufts last night.

Champion Cracknor Cause Celebre - Coco for short - was named top dog at the 102nd Crufts final, held in Birmingham, in what will be her last competition. Coco, owned by Pamela Beale, Stephanie Ingram and Elisabeth Matell, was paraded by a delighted Peter Green, who said: "She's gone out on a real high."

The Hero of the Year award went to an army spaniel called Buster, for his work in war zones.
