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.

From dating apps to celebrity relationships, ghosting to benching; The Independent digs deep into the murky waters of modern love in a brand new weekly podcast, hosted by Assistant Lifestyle Editor Rachel Hosie and Lifestyle Writer Olivia Petter.

This week on Millennial Love, we're joined by YouTuber and author of Doing It, Hannah Witton.

In light of Pornhub being hacked and users expressing concern that their identities might be revealed, in episode five we discuss how porn is impacting the way we think about sex. Is it ruining intimacy for a generation? Or does it have an unfairly bad rep?

We also discuss contraception and whether the responsibility should fall on women. What about a male pill?

And finally Hannah, who has been in a relationship for ten months, shares what she's learned since being coupled-up with long-time singletons, Rachel and Olivia.

It's available via iTunes and Acast, and we'd love it if you could download, listen, rate and subscribe.
