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.

After playing a Tony Hawk game for the first time 10 years ago, I remember feeling as if I had somehow become a skilled skater, able to pull off audacious big air tricks. I hadn’t – it was just that the title felt so convincing. A decade on, and the Hawk franchise – and the man himself – is more than a little long in the tooth, so developers have wheeled in a peripheral to pimp things up. While the board controller for TonyHawk Ride makes for briefly diverting play, it feels more like a gimmick than a genuine innovation.
