The Guardian Today
"The Guardian is broken. Can someone please fix it?"*
*Elon Musk, Jan 27
We are not sure why Mr Musk dislikes us so much. Perhaps it is that we rigorously scrutinise the affairs of tycoons like him and report the things that people need to know. Whatever. We are flattered by the attention. There can be no greater compliment than criticism from a billionaire.

We don't need fixing, but our people-powered journalism relies on reader generosity - so if you want to fortify us in our work to expose the iniquity of great wealth, do show your support today.

You probably know that, we’re proud to call ourselves a reader-funded global news organisation, with more than one million supporters in 180 countries. This generous support powers everything we do. It protects our editorial independence, so we can always report with freedom and truth on the events shaping our world. It sustains our model for open journalism, so everyone can access trustworthy news without a paywall.
