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.Ralph Fiennes's sinewy voice reading Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient (Macmillan, 4hrs, pounds 8.99) is an attractive supplement to his much- praised performance in the film of the book, and though purists will resent any abridgement, this one is more generous than most. A galaxy of super- star readers are allied with bargain basement value in a joint venture by Hodder Headline and W H Smith. The first 15 titles in their pounds 6.99 Classic Collection sets include Julie Christie matched to Far From the Madding Crowd, Joanna Lumley to Persuasion and Kate Winslet to Sense and Sensibility.
