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.

Thousands of gamers had an unwelcome missive from their PS3s this week. Owners of older versions of the console received a message reading, “8001050F – Hardware failure.

Cannot update Firmware or connect to internet”, leaving them unable to play games or access PSN; in some cases, trophy achievements were deleted. Blaming the problemon a calendar glitch, Sony says it is now resolved, and that services are up-and-running. Let’s hope those achievements are restored, too.
