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.It is the satirical website whose spoof stories are frequently mistaken for real news. Now British viewers will get a weekly slice of The Onion when its spin-off television series is broadcast next month.
Sky Arts has snapped up The Onion News Network, an award-winning series from the creators of headlines such as "Drugs Win Drug War" and "Black guy asks nation for change". The US series, set in a spoof cable news network, will challenge topical rival The Daily Show, now reduced to a weekly edition by More 4.
Launched as a web video series in 2007, it calls itself the "loudest voice in news" and claims to "report first and asks questions later in an ongoing pursuit to marginally respect viewers' intelligence."
It is fronted by glamorous news anchor Brooke Alvarez, who gained an exclusive first interview with Beyoncé's unborn child through a microphone inserted in the singer's womb. Other presenters include the "ruggedly handsome and sometimes shirtless" international reporter O'Brady Shaw.
