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.What's hot...
Lily Allen
New songs, new look, and top of the singles chart. We are loving the pop star's comeback and her soon-to-be-released album It's Not Me, It's You.
Auto-tune
Because let's face it, without digital enhancement, Kanye West's singing is not so hot – as we learned from a recent Saturday Night Live.
Revolutionary Road
Dream team Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are no disappointment, reunited in this adaptation of Richard Yates's novel.
...and what's not
Morrissey
Posing naked on the inside sleeve artwork for his excellent new single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris".
Your Country Needs You
Andrew Lloyd Webber's new show to find our Eurovision contestant was one talent show too far.
Cancellations
West End theatres wimping out due to the bad weather, disappointing thousands of ticket-holders to Oliver!, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia!, A Midsummer Night's Dream and more.
