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.

Stourton began seeing life from a dog's eye view when he lost his job as a flagship radio presenter.

Just when all that was left to do was walk the dog, he was offered a column in The Telegraph which revolved around his Spaniel, Kudu.

Extracts from columns feature alongside Stourton's reflections and public responses.

Stourton combines recollections of a reporting career with Kudi's story and raises the bar on the humdrum business of doggy matters with passages on the sexual politics of the park – and even Heidegger.
