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 2024 Tony Awards nominations have been announced, with Daniel Radcliffe, Jeremy Strong and Rachel McAdams among the nominees.

On Tuesday (30 April), Tony winners Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Take Me Out) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton) announced the list of nominations.

Hell’s Kitchen, a musical inspired by Alicia Keys’s childhood in New York City, and Stereophonic, a show about a rock band on the cusp of stardom starring The Wilds breakout Sarah Pidgeon, lead the nominations with 13 nods apiece.

Winners of the 77th Annual Tony Awards – which recognise excellence in live Broadway theatre – will be announced during a live ceremony hosted for the third time by stage veteran and Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose at Lincoln Center’s David H Koch Theatre on Sunday 16 June.
