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 winners of the 64th Grammy Awards were unveiled tonight (4 April), at a ceremony that was largely free of controversy after last week’s drama-packed Oscars.

The ceremony was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with viewers able to tune in from home on CBS and streaming service Paramount+.

Jon Batiste, the most nominated artist of the night with nods in 11 categories, claimed Album of the Year for his record We Are. He beat fierce competition from pop giants including Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X and Kanye West.

Rodrigo and the Bruno Mars/Anderson Paak collaborative project, Silk Sonic, were the big winners, with two awards apiece. Other artists to pick up major awards included country music star Chris Stapleton and rapper Doja Cat.
