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.THE BRITISH Association of Concert Agents has unveiled a potential Bible for performing arts organisations: the BACA International Guide, designed for the use of anyone with an interest in touring, or organising tours, outside their home territory. It steers through the minefields of tax regulations, contracts, visas, carnets, and broadcast and royalty entitlements, in over 35 countries, and covers up-to-date material on the often bewildering changes in eastern Europe.
Replacing a 1987 version, this edition represents some six months' work on the part of leading city accountants Touche Ross and the legal firm Taylor Joynson Garrett, both of which run specialities in the entertainment field. The guide has received the imprimatur of the government-funded Visiting Arts organisation. Price pounds 70 ('A snip,' says BACA executive director Thomas Ponsonby): details on 071-243 2598.
