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.

FRIDAY ISN'T usually the most cerebral evening of the TV week, a fact embraced by Sky Cinema with The Directors (5.30pm), a low-brow celebration of the work of former Police Squad collaborators Jim Abrahams and David Zucker (right). They are responsible for some of the most enjoyably inane comedies of the last 20 years including Airplane, Hot Shots and the three Naked Gun films (right).

Meanwhile, leave your brains in neutral for Super League (7pm Sky Sports 1) as St Helens take on Leeds in an end-of-season play-off.

Odd as it may seem, the county cricket season is still with us. In Cricket (10.30am/1.15pm Sky Sports 3) Leicestershire take on relegation candidates Durham in a fixture that is largely academic as Surrey won the County Championship a couple of weeks ago.
