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.THIS WEEK tongues are wagging with break-up talk. In the past few days Massive Attack have been forced to release a statement to dispel rumours that they are calling it quits. The statement reads that comments made to Radio 1 were "intended to be flippant... made in response to the journalist's cliched and tired questioning about the so-called `depressing' nature of Mezzanine". Meanwhile Bjork is considering giving up the music business for good because of an obsessed fan. This follows an incident in September 1996, when she was sent a parcel bomb by fan Ricardo Lopez, which was intercepted by the police. Now Bjork has told a Swedish newspaper that she has been pursued by a stalker for the past four years. Bjork said: "Maybe I have to stop releasing my music. Before I was 26, my motto was to not let anyone hear it. Maybe I should return to that attitude."
DAVID BOWIE has written the music and part of the lyrics for a new song, "What's Really Happening", and is offering his fans the chance to write three verses and finish the song with him, in a song-writing contest. The song is downloadable from his web site with Bowie singing `la-las' in place of the missing lyrics. The finalists will be chosen, on-line, by the public and the final winner will be chosen by Bowie. To take part just go to www.davidbowie.com.
