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.ITV got a boost yesterday as it reported a 61 per cent jump in first-quarter revenues at its programme-making arm ITV Studios. It is responsible for shows such as I'm A Celebrity and the Sunday-night drama series Titanic, which was sold to 86 countries. The growth at ITV Studios helped offset a 1 per cent slide in advertising in the first three months of the year at a time when Britain slipped back into recession. Group revenues at the firm rose by 13 per cent to £565m, reported chief executive Adam Crozier. But he admitted ITV Studios was flattered by the fact that it makes breakfast programme Daybreak in-house, unlike its predecessor, GMTV, which was made externally.
