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.How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.
In episode three, we look at the Oscars screw-up that was ultimately kinda perfect and Terrence Malick's stunning new film Song to Song. Later, Bob Odenkirk drops in to discuss how and why it's easier to move from comedy to drama than the other way around, his Netflix neo-noir oddity Girlfriend's Day, how Saul Goodman came in part from the "divorced, bankrupt, fucked" people he grew up around and the third season of Better Call Saul.
