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.

Australia had its second fatal shark attack in five days when a man on his honeymoon was killed while scuba diving with his bride, AP reports from Sydney. Deborah Ford, 29, said she saw the shark take her husband John, 31, off the resort of Byron Bay, 400 miles north of Sydney.

Fishermen caught the 16ft white pointer shark with a hook and net. It regurgitated human remains before ramming a fishing boat and thrashing its way to freedom.
