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.

BRITISH Sky Broadcasting, the satellite television group, has dealt another blow to its rivals by signing up two more channels to its digital service on an exclusive basis for several years.

Flextech is providing the channels, including Living, which carries the Jerry Springer chat show, and UK Arena, one of the channels produced by Flextech's joint venture with the BBC.

The news is a blow to ONDigital, the joint venture between Carlton and Granada, which plans to launch a 30-channel digital service this year.
