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.

THE recession-defying boom in music magazine launches is set to continue in a fortnight's time with the arrival of Classical Piano. Devised by Rhinegold, the publishers of the well-established fortnightly Classical Music, it will make its first appearance as an inclusion in CM's 24 April issue, and its second six weeks later. Independent life will begin later in the year.

Rhinegold has a history of spotting gaps in the market, and if this launch manages to do for keyboards what, say, The Strad has done for strings then its prospects must be good. The firm is planning up to three more magazines, including one about voices which is likely to appear in similar form at the end of May. It will be called The Singer - nothing to do with sewing machines, says the editor of CM, Keith Clarke, who is overseeing the projects.
