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.For those who already have the Eagles' Hotel California on vinyl, cassette tape and CD, the question now arises: would you like to hear all those old favourites in ever better quality sound than you have ever heard them before? And would the same apply to the rest of your music collection?

The music industry obviously hopes so, not least because the new technology carries with it the hope of a much better defence against piracy (and, of course, another way to flog those lucrative back catalogues). However, there must be a limit as to how often consumers can be persuaded to update their record collections, and, indeed, how close to perfection a hi-fi sound can be before it encounters diminishing aural returns. Let's be honest: is it really worth spending £12.99 on a DVD when the sound is so crisp that it makes you nostalgic for the worn, pock-marked LP you sold to a second-hand shop for 50p?
