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.

China's defending title-holder and Olympic champion Fu Mingxia produced a stunning final dive to snatch the gold medal from her countrywoman Chi Bin at the World Swimming Championships in Rome yesterday. Needing to score over 62 points on her final dive in the 10 metre highboard, Fu brought gasps of admiration with an inward three-and-a-half somersault. It earned her scores of 8.5 and four 8.00s to collect a winning total of 75.48.
