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 Norman Foster and Partners are the only British architects chosen to go through to the second stage of the competition to design the pounds 40m Cardiff Bay Opera House. Sir Norman, unlike other competitors, will not have to take part in the first stage of the competition, which is open to all registered architects. The Cardiff Bay Opera Trust, a consortium that includes the Welsh Arts Council, Cardiff Bay Development Corporation and the Welsh National Opera, plans to raise most of the project's capital through the National Lottery and Millennium Fund. The three other 'preselected' architects are Mario Botta (Italy), Rem Koolhaas (the Netherlands) and Rafael Moneo (Spain).
