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.Ian Stephen, forensic clinical psychologist, on advising on Cracker (ITV 9pm): 'My advice was to Robbie (Coltrane) himself. Robbie couldn't get into my skin because I'm a wee bit thinner than him, but I was giving a reality base for him to develop his fictional personality and on screen I can feel a bit of myself integrated into the role.
'Compared to real life, I work at a much slower pace. Theirs is a much higher-key operation - people would turn over and watch the news if they saw me at work. And there are occasions - such as his particularly heavy and interrogative interview with an amnesiac last week - which reflect what I'd like to do myself but am constrained from doing because of the codes of practice.
'However, there are situations that I can identify with. For instance, people jumping to conclusions about who is the offender and then trying to prove it. And you certainly would be working with people like those you see in the programme.'
