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.Peter Salmon, Controller of Factual Programmes, reflects on Channel 4's Bloody Bosnia season: 'It's been a campaign to keep the issue in the headlines. We wanted to keep Bosnia on the TV map and I think it will be harder for other programme makers to ignore it now.
'From our duty log, mail bag and press coverage, I would say it's been successful - it's been noticed and talked about. The one level of reaction I've been disappointed in has been from politicians. I just have a feeling that they have gone on holiday and I'm disappointed about that. There are limits to what you can achieve; this is television, we are Channel 4 and not the UN Security Council, but hopefully we can play a part in keeping the issue hot.
'Two consistent remarks have been particularly interesting: firstly, the American media asking how a commercial television station can do something like this; secondly, viewers saying thank you for this but what about bloody Ulster?
'I think this ranks alongside the homelessness series we did. But we need to be careful about these seasons, they're for special things only.'
