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.

This Corsican male choir sings in the traditional folk manner, with one hand cupped to an ear, and they huddle close together because the subtleties of their counterpoint require extreme sensitivity to the composite sound.

Their liner note (in French and Italian) tells us virtually nothing about their music's background, so all we can do is savour the extraordinary beauty with which they first state their themes bare and unadorned, and then proceed to ornament them.

Pick of the album: 'Alilo', for Georgian music with a Corsican twist
