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.

Dancing dog Pudsey is going to bust a move Gangnam Style in front of a prime-time audience at the National Television Awards.

The Britain's Got Talent winner, along with owner Ashleigh Butler, will perform at next week's event at London's O2.

The dance craze, which made South Korean pop singer Psy a worldwide star, has led to hundreds of copycat videos with teachers, police officers and even soldiers based in Afghanistan getting in on the act.

Psy's original promotional film for the song became the first video to reach one billion views on video hosting site YouTube.

The awards, commonly known as the NTAs, will see Doctor Who and Sherlock go head to head for two prizes.

The shows - both created by writer and producer Steven Moffat - will challenge for best drama, while stars Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch are in the running for best male actor.

The prizes are handed out at a star-studded ceremony next Wednesday.
