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.

DETECTIVES investigating the murder of 14-year-old Kate Bushell yesterday arrested a 20-year-old man. He is being questioned at an Exeter police station about the murder of the schoolgirl, who was killed while walking a neighbour's pet dog near her home on the outskirts of the city last November.

Kate's body was discovered by her father, Jeremy, just 300 yards from her home. Her throat had been slashed. Murder hunt police ordered DNA tests on all men living in a half-mile radius of the scene.
