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.Students will next week gather at one of the world's most famous universities to study the songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education is running a two-day course, called Changing Times, focusing on the work of Dylan and Cohen in the 1960s.
A spokeswoman said writer Jem Poster and musicologist Stephen Ferron would examine "lyrics and music" during the course over the bank holiday weekend.
She said students would study Dylan at sessions called Folk And Protest, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde and Cohen at sessions called Poet And Singer, Songs Of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room and Songs Of Love And Hate.
