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 popular folk singer Ibrahim Tatlises was shot in the head outside a TV studio, leaving him in a critical condition.
He had been performing in his own music show in central Istanbul before the unidentified attackers, armed with Kalashnikovs, struck at about midnight on Sunday. His spokeswoman was also hit, and was said to be in a stable condition.
No group has claimed involvement in the attack on Tatlises, who is a Kurd, but he was reportedly shot in the leg in 1990 and escaped unharmed in another incident in 1998.
