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.

With no more Harry Potter tales on the horizon, how to get the ankle-biters to get into a good book?

The cunning folk at EA reckon they’ve come up with the perfect plan, bundling digital versions of children’s books on to the DS, and launching in time for Christmas. The Flips DS range features authors including Enid Blyton and Eoin Colfer and each “game” includes a variety of books for £24.99. Unlike Nintendo’s100 Classic Books, the Flips DS titles don’t just offer static text but will incorporate interactive elements to make the stories real page turners. Kindle, watch your back.
