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.

Sienna Miller should be forced to accept damages of £100,000 in her phone hacking claim against the News of the World because the stories published about her private life were "not that hurtful," a lawyer for the newspaper said yesterday.

The High Court heard that the six-figure sum, which had been requested by the actress's legal team, constituted a "generous" offer to settle her complaint.

Hugh Tomlinson QC, for the actress, accused the NOTW of being "consistently deceitful". He said: "The crucial thing from our point of view is to know the extent of the wrongdoing and know exactly what happened." The case continues.
