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 music video was thought to be dying for a while post MTV-era, but thanks to the internet it is more vital than ever as a means of promotion and, more importantly, an art form.

You don't necessarily need to have Beyoncé or Kendrick Lamar money to make a striking one though, as IsaiahXavier10 showed this week, making his own no budget video for M-City J.r.'s 'Addicted To My Ex'.

Panning, whipping and flipping his iPhone, his seamless creation is going down a storm on social and kind of speaks to our obsession with selfies and storifying our days.

It was made using creative video editing app Musical.ly.
