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.Adele's collaborator Paul Epworth has been handed an early Brit Award after landing the best producer prize.
The studio wizard, who co-wrote Oscar-nominated James Bond theme Skyfall with the singer, was honoured at the annual Music Producers Guild (MPG) Awards, which rewards recording professionals.
Epworth landed the MPG's producer of the year prize, which also earns the winner the Brit prize, for his work on the Florence + The Machine album Ceremonials.
Ceremonials was named album of the year at a ceremony in London's Cafe De Paris last night.
Florence Welch said of Epworth: "His innovation and passion are constantly inspiring, and I am grateful to have worked with him on an album that I am so proud of."
The event also saw an honorary award going to Beatles producer Sir George Martin for his outstanding contribution to UK music.
And Glyn Johns, whose career has included work on The Clash's Combat Rock, Who's Next by The Who and Eric Clapton's Slowhand, took the inspiration award.
