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.Further to Hilary Finch's obituary of Lynne Walker in yesterday's paper, David Lister, The Independent's arts editor, writes:
Lynne Walker was the sort of critic that every national newspaper should have: a passionate, highly informed writer based outside of London, who championed her local companies. In Lynne's case, the Hallé orchestra and Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester certainly benefitted from her enthusiasm; but she would also be seen at places such as the West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Her unceasingly sunny nature, combined with an unbridled passion for music and theatre, made her as popular with the arts world in the north as she was with her editors in London.
