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.

Blame shaving

Sir: Could it be that women have been spared the cumulative effect of years of residual shaving foam, or the buzzing of electric razors near the ears, which has reduced the sensitivity to noise of the male of the species?

Can any of your readers suggest who might be sued if this turns out to be the cause of distress for Geraldine O'Farrell (letter, 29 April) and Mair Gaunt (letter, 26 April)?
