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.How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.
Game of Thrones season 7 is fast approaching and the world is riding the hype train all the way to Dorne, but is the HBO show actually good? Will it be remembered as one of the greats? Joined by Jacob Stolworthy and Jack Shepherd, Chris looks at how the show has switched its focus from political intrigue to the spectacle of battle, whether it has the dramatic chops to match its technical ones, where the show might be going, and how it often finds itself drowning in characters.
