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 BRITISH LIBRARY was planned in 1962, went through two site changes, three revisions and cost pounds 520 million. This scandal seems to have eclipsed the fate of the library's original home, the British Museum (right). The Reading Room was recently renovated while the inner courtyard is currently being covered by a glass roof. Kate Bellingham joins the engineers on site in Testing Times (9pm R4).
