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.May I add a footnote to Mick Brown's Wolfman Jack obituary [3 July]? writes Nick Kimberley.
There was a brief period when Wolfman Jack's throaty roar was audible in London, c1972-74. Not via some megawatt transmitter in Mexico, but courtesy of American Forces Network broadcasts from Germany. I fondly remember a group of us gathering once a week in the kitchen to hear this link with an alien, and by this time fading, culture. No doubt in the US such radio DJs were commonplace, but none of us had ever heard anything like it, and it was thrilling.
