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 Journey to the New World, guitar virtuoso Sharon Isbin offers a bridge between the cultures, tracing the passage of folk instrumentals from courtly Renaissance lute works such as "Greensleeves", through classic English folksong like "Wild Mountain Thyme", to the American developments presented in suites by John Duarte and Mark O'Connor. The former's Joan Baez Suite features a selection of American classics such as "Lily of the West" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"
