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.

This year's Golden Globes looks set to heap yet more success upon The Handmaid's Tale and Big Little Lies in a ceremony which has thrown many deserving titles and actors into contention.

Actors Elisabeth Moss and Nicole Kidman - who both won Emmys for their respective roles - are clear favourites going into the ceremony which is scheduled to take place in Hollywood this Sunday (7 January). Moss faces competition from Claire Foy in Netflix drama The Crown while Kidman's opposition has manifested in the form of her Big Little Lies co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley.

In the comedy categories, Aziz Ansari (Master of None), Anthony Anderson (Black-ish), Issa Rey (Insecure) and Kevin Bacon (I Love Dick) are all in the running alongside former House of Cards star Rachel Brosnahan whose new Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel scores two surprise nominations.
