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 67th annual TV Emmy Awards took place at the Microsoft Theater in LA tonight, and with no Breaking Bad to snap up every prize for the first time in half a decade, there was room for other series and actors to pick up accolades.
Jon Hamm unsurprisingly took home Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama series for the final Mad Men season, while Viola Davis became the first black woman to win Outstanding Lead Actress in the same category.
