The Barometer: What's hot and what's not
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.

Dream team
We can't think of a better avant-pop music combination than Björk and Thom Yorke on the Icelandic songstress's new track Naturra. And it's in aid of the environment.
Smokin' art
Frieze Art Fair showcased work from more than 1,000 contemporary artists, including Norma Jeane's smoking booths for visitors.
The Dears
The Canadian band's new album Missiles is one of their best orchestral melodramatic indie-rock records yet.
NOT
Expensive comedy tickets
Sarah Silverman, Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan: hands up! In these economically challenging times, £40 for a show is not cool.
Eurovision
Everyone knows Eurovision is a bit of fun, so why have we lined up Andrew Lloyd Webber to pen our next entry?
AC/DC
AC/DC's 'Black Ice' is just being sold at Wal-Mart. Anything to do with the reported 400,000 illegal downloads?
