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.

Sir: I find your headline of 2 September ("Killed by drunken driving, not fame") deeply offensive.

The state of Diana's driver in no way exonerates the behaviour of the jackals that pursued her. These people, supposedly acting in the public's interest, conducted themselves like a frenzied pack of animals, acting solely in self-interest in the hope of benefiting from the huge pay-outs that newspapers and magazines offer. You surely have to ask yourself what the driver was trying to avoid.
