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.

Sir David Attenborough is to take on Keith Lemon and Sherlock for a TV Bafta.

Their shows are up for the publicly-voted audience prize at the TV awards ceremony next month.

Sir David's Frozen Planet (BBC1) faces Lemon's Celebrity Juice (ITV2) and drama Sherlock (BBC1) - starring Benedict Cumberbatch - for the gong.

Also competing for the title are Educating Essex (Channel 4), comedy series Fresh Meat (Channel 4) and The Great British Bake Off (BBC2).

The shortlist was drawn up from shows that have captured the public imagination over the past year.

This year's event is being hosted by Dara O'Briain at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

The winner of the YouTube Audience Award will be announced at the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards on May 27.
