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.

Fancy taking part in an expedition to Turkmenistan in a souped up caravan (or similar)? Then these might be the job opportunities for you.

The Top Gear trio’s new show is looking for a Producer, Production Manager, Assistant Producers and a Post Production Coordinator, advertising the roles on GrapevineJobs.

If those are a little beyond your skill set, they’re also after runners.

The jobs all offer ‘a chance to join an exciting new venture on the starting grid…With an impressive reputation to protect, we've a big challenge to live up to.

"Our aim is to exceed expectations at every level ­ so we're now looking to recruit the best production talent out there."

The production company say that wit and creativity and “essential” in the producer role, which will involve multi-camera shoots in various locations.

Joking about the team’s bungling demeanour, the adverts seek people to “be the unsung heroes who help this middle aged trio make superbly entertaining TV.”

It is certainly set to be a wild, adventurous car show rather than one focused on reviews of Vauxhalls, possibly even more so than Top Gear, with Amazon Prime giving the team a whopping £160 million budget for the season and complete “creative freedom”.
