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.As presenter Nicholas Crane never tired of exclaiming in the first series of the BBC's Bafta-winning Coast, "Remember, you are never more than 72 miles from the sea!" Far from being a finite concept, that series, starting and ending at Dover, seems to have spawned a whole Coast industry, with two subsequent series, Coast From the Air and now Coast: The Walks (Ebury, £16.99). How many more ways can they find to get profitably around the edge of Britain (and Ireland)? This latest edition, though, is intriguing and inventive. Over 50 guided walks, each with an Ordnance Survey map, take in the seaside from Dublin to Dundee to Bristol Docks, with difficulty ratings and information on local history. Right: the Volk's Electric Railway in Brighton (six miles, easy, suitable for wheelchairs).
