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.

"COUNTRY MUSIC is when a fellow sings to his girl and western is when a fellow sings to his horse," says Mike Harding (right) as he continues his investigation of The Singing Cowboys (10pm R2).

In contrast, today's BBC Proms 99 (7pm R3) sees James Galway performing concertos by Mozart and Lowell Liebermann, while the London Mozart Players play Mozart's Symphony No 40.
