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.

Seoul - Police blamed the crash of a Korean Air jet on the pilot and co-pilot, accusing them of trying to land the plane with too little runway left. All 152 passengers and eight crew survived Wednesday's crash by jumping down an escape chute moments before explosions shook the plane.

The pilot, Barry Edward Woods of Vancouver, and the co-pilot, Chang Chan Kyu of South Korea, were charged with neglect of duty and endangering passengers. AP
