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.

Ever worried that electronic talkie thing that may as well be hardwired into your palm is going out of fashion? If not, you certainly should be.

Blackberry users, beware. Your phone company is selling itself for 5 per cent of what it was worth in 2008 - that’s $80bn (£50bn) down to $4.7bn.

About to get your hands on a nice Galaxy Note 3? Don’t bother – the South Korean company have already announced plans to release a cooler device with a cool curved screen in the near future.

And if you’re losing sleep over not having the latest iPhone , spare a thought to how that cupboard of abandoned Apple products is feeling.
