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.

Cutting Edge 2pm R4. Tom Georgeson (Harry in Between the Lines) takes over from Tom Watson as John Harvey's lonely, jazz-loving Nottingham- based detective Charlie Resnick - this one's about a knife attack on a doctor.
Hitchcock and the Beast 10am R4 FM. No, a different Hitchcock: this is Andy Hitchcock, a journalist from Devon, here investigating the Beast of Bodmin - according to locals, not only alive, but breeding.

WEDNESDAY
A Square of One's Own 11pm R4. A spoofy four-part account of the Bloomsbury Set - untopical and unsubtle (characters called Virginia Woof and Lytton Strychnine), but strangely appealing. Take those stones out of your pockets.
THURSDAY
Julie Enfield Investigates the Net and the Canal 11pm R4. Another offbeat thriller by Nick Fisher, starring Imelda Staunton as the self- willed policewoman - this time, contending with murder on the canal and odd messages on her computer.
FRIDAY
Mining the Archive 3pm R3. On what would have been his 75th birthday, a celebration of the great hornplayer Dennis Brain; the music includes a recital recorded in 1957 for the BBC, a few days before his death.
