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.

Daniel Kramer’s classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist’s transformative big bang year of 1964–65, when his divisive transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming and propelled him to superstar status. It was also the year Dylan self-deprecatingly avowed he was “just a song and dance man”. The images take us behind the scenes of a seminal period of music history.
