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 first two seasons were pitch perfect and nuanced; drolly parodying the notion of an American Dream. Don and Betty's unhappy union explored some dark, Richard Yates-like terrain. Mad Men had heft, and it probably should have stopped at season three. But it lumbers on: depressed Draper is philandering again, as is Pete, and Peggy is in the ascendant. It's morphed into an exquisite-looking, beautifully acted soap opera. But who, frankly, cares whether they bag the Sunkist account?
