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.

WILLIAM GIBSON, known to his acolytes as "the father of cyberpunk", is this week's castaway on Desert Island Discs (9am R4). He talks to Sue Lawley about his vision of the future, and how he would cope with the basic amenities of the lonely isle.

In the final edition of Twenty Minutes (8.20pm R3), Jonathan Glancey (right) seizes the opportunity to extol the virtues of domes.
