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.

My most shameful confession is that I watch six episodes of CSI every week. CSI: New York is my favourite (no David Caruso to spoil the action), but does the PC version pass muster?

Only if robotic point-and-click titles are your idea of entertainment, because while there’s a series of brutal murders to solve, the process of endless interrogation and paltry puzzles takes the excitement out of the chase. While the game’s characters actually look like their televisual counterparts, that’s not enough to breathe life into it.
