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.

Passengers are waiting to find out when they would be allowed to disembark a ship at the centre of a vomiting bug outbreak which is cutting short its voyage.

The operators of the Marco Polo announced that the cruise ship would terminate its voyage at Invergordon in Easter Ross, where it is currently berthed.

Hundreds of passengers and crew on board have shown symptoms of norovirus and are being treated on the ship.
