Sara draws back the Internet curtains for all
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.Fans of the Internet site JennyCam, featuring 24-hour live pictures from inside an American woman's bedroom, can now tune into a British version - SaraCam.
The site, launched yesterday by cable station Bravo, will send a new picture every three seconds from the bedroom of East London actress Sara, who despite opening her bedroom to the world is unwilling to reveal her surname.
Viewers of JennyCam say watching Jenny sleep, tidy her room and chat to her friends can be surprisingly addictive.
Viewers of the Internet station Bravo were invited to vote for a British Jenny from a short-list of three young women. Almost 50 per cent decided Sara's boudoir was the one they would most like to spy on.
James Matheson, spokesman for Bravo, denied SaraCam's audience would be dominated by dirty old men. "It'll be more like a real soap opera," he said. "Sara has a great personality and she's bound to be throwing loads of parties.
"On the other hand there will probably be quite a lot of time when all you will be able to see is Sara's cat asleep on her bed or Sara brushing her hair."
The camera can be turned off or moved away if Sara wants a little privacy. And while the self-confessed show-off said yesterday she is unshockable, it is understood no nudity will be involved.
