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.

MAGIC JOHNSON became a part- owner of the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday. He will be a vice president and work in several management areas with the club he led to five NBA titles in the 1980s. No percentage of the purchase was announced but it is believed to be less than 10 percent of the stake held by the majority owner Jerry Buss. The deal is subject to league approval, but that is expected to be a formality.
