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.

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) has one piece of advice to give to his band of zombie apocalypse survivors: “We do what we need to do, and then we get to live”.

That’s about as spoiler-ific as the new trailer for The Walking Dead midseason return gets, which will be a welcome change for fans tired of reading plot spoilers online (and if you’ve not yet seen the first part of series five, don’t read on).

The death of Beth (Emily Kinney) in the mid-season finale in November is likely to have a big impact on the group, with Beth’s sister Maggie (Lauren Cohan) expected to take a turn for the worse.

They’re likely to be in the wilderness for a while but Rick’s goal will be to find a permanent home for his group – and chances are there will be a few zombie hordes that will come between them and safety.

The Walking Dead returns to FOX in the UK on Monday 9 February. The series will be broadcast 24 hours after it is shown on AMC in the US on Sundays.
