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.

Thicke has racked up five Billboard hit albums without troubling the outside world.

Suddenly, following the global smash “Blurred Lines”, all eyes are on him for the sixth. Which turns out to be an almost fascinatingly charmless collection of bog-standard sub-Timberlake nu-disco and R&B-pop, with would-be loverman Thicke promising a “big dick for you” and complaining that there’s no statue of him in his hometown. Nothing to see here.
