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 Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Simon & Schuster, 90 mins, pounds 8.99) is the first ever audiobook to sell more than a million copies. After a few initial sneers at the modishly upbeat presentation, I was a total convert to Steven Covey's refreshingly unmanipulative "character- ethic" philosophy.
Abridgement of Michael Ridpath's Trading Reality (Reed, 3 hrs, pounds 7.99) guts the full-length thriller, but the idea of a cutting edge, virtual reality company going global from the shores of a Scottish loch is cool. Samuel West sustains the story's galloping pace and handles its international cast effortlessly. Good escapist listening.
