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.Dispatches (9pm C4) Andrew Marr, editor of this newspaper, followed the 1992 general election as political editor of the Economist. His insider's account of the media campaign, which has since been updated, was first broadcast on polling night in 1992, and revealed the symbiotic relationship between the parties, their spin doctors and political journalists. Hindsight of John Major's surprise, against-the-pollsters victory adds a tasty crust of historical irony to his interesting chronicle of an election result unforetold (122970).
Horizon (9.30pm BBC2) How a group of deaf children born in pre-revolutionary Nicaragua (where they were kept hidden and given no education) developed their own complex sign language and thus provided linguists with an answer to that old conundrum - is language learned, or is it innate? (780135)
