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.

The Crown and Black Mirror lead nominations for the 2024 Bafta TV awards, with eight and seven nominations apiece.

Following the British Academy Film Awards last month, nominees for the television shows of the last year were revealed on Wednesday (20 March).

For its divisive final season, Netflix’s royal drama The Crown has picked up nominations for supporting actress (Elizabeth Debicki and Lesley Manville), leading actor (Dominic West) and supporting actor (Salim Daw).

For the Charlie Brooker-created dystopian anthology Black Mirror, nods are for the season six episode “Demon 79”.

Happy Valley, Slow Horses and The Sixth Commandment have all received six nominations, while The Last of Us, The Long Shadow and Succession follow with five nominations.

Out of 44 performer nominations, 17 are first-time nominees. Among these are the Bafta Film Awards host David Tennant for Good Omens, Hannah Waddingham for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, Harriet Walters (Succession), Amit Shah (Happy Valley) and Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us).
