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.

Three writers from The Independent were short-listed in last night's British Sports Books Awards at the Savoy hotel. Neil Clack and Steve Bunce were short-listed in the best new writer category for Animals and The Fixer respectively, while David Tremayne's Jochen Rindt was short-listed for best illustrated title.

Columnist Neil Warnock presented the award for the best football book, won by Anthony Clavane for Promised Land. The cricket book of the year, Harry Pearson's Slipless in Settle, was chosen by a panel chaired by Stephen Brenkley, this newspaper's cricket correspondent.
