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 A new president, Andreas Whittam Smith (right), and director James Ferman retiring, change is under way at the British Board of Film Classification. In Censored (8pm R4) Nick Higham finds out who the censors are and how they feel about their work: for most of them, sex on film quickly becomes a mechanical matter; but violence is another. The programme doesn't settle any arguments about censorship, but it does take them out of the abstract, giving them a human, practical face.
The Galton and Simpson Radio Playhouse (11.30am R4) has Richard Griffiths playing a French undertaker in an exhumed G&S TV script. The result is distinctly mild.
