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 FIVE BEST DISCS OF THE MOMENT
Dvorak Symphonies 7 & 8: Oslo Phil, Mariss Jansons (EMI, CD only). The freshest, most intense of recent versions. See feature, page 20. Michael White
Grieg Songs: Anne Sofie von Otter, Bengt Forsberg (DG, CD only). Perfect introduction to a slice of repertory that hardly anyone in Britain sings or even knows. MW
Donald Fagen: Kamakiriad (Reprise, LP/ tape/CD). Smooth grooves, nifty guitar figures, impossibly fluid bass, irresistible drumming, varied keyboard textures, subtle horn arrangements: almost as good as the sacred first side of Aja. RW
Neil Young: Unplugged (Reprise, LP/CD/ tape). Savage, tender and spiritual: how about, the best live album ever made? BT
Chaka Demus & Pliers: Tease Me (Mango, single). Another massive reggae chartbuster - lovely DJ/singer interplay, shame about the video. BT
