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.

Scratch beneath the surface sheen of It's All True and all kinds of depths emerge.

The fourth album by the Canadian duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark is named after a wartime propaganda film by Orson Welles, has one song ("Banana Ripple") based on Howard Hughes' obsession with ice-cream and is apparently a break-up album. But when that surface is a penthouse pop confection reminiscent of Zoot Woman and Hall and Oates, why scratch it?
