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.

Island Records has pulled out all the stops with the advertising budget for Bombay Bicycle Club, a band so profoundly nothingy that one suspects the label of running a Producers-style scam.

A having-it-both-ways proposition combining the commerciality of Editors with the indie-schmindie of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, BBC are led by a singer with a singularly irritating bleat and a guitarist who has you considering a moratorium on the sale of reverb pedals. More early evening festival fodder. Didn't we already have enough of that?
