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.WITH DIARIES, short stories and readings, Alan Bennett (right) now seems to have become a firmly established part of the Christmas ritual. Today he begins an atmospheric five- part reading of Peter Pan and Wendy (9.45am R4 FM).
Another national treasure gets analysed in Postscript (9pm R3). This evening, our continuing fascination with the Bard's life is explored by his most recent biographer, Park Honan, and Katherine Duncan-Jones, who edited the Sonnets.
After last week's "Christmas Cocktails", we get Cabaret Cocktails (7pm R3) with Noel Coward, et al; alas, the wordless purity of the originals is sullied by Robert Cushman's commentary, and it's just not the same.
