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.

When the wind is southerly...

It's small screen plug time again. There's so much fatuous dross that passes for television these days, you don't have time to sift through it all yourself - so sit back and we'll do it for you. Due South (Fri 8pm BBC1) is blossoming into one of the funniest things on TV, what with its ridiculous storylines and its huge brain - why, this week's title, "Hawk and a Handsaw", is a reference to Hamlet. Benton Fraser is also a huge dish, or so I'm told.
