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.

One teatime classic that is already set to return is Blockbusters, now with Simon Mayo. A good start – but we want more old gameshows. How about The Crystal Maze? It would be hard to match Richard O'Brien's mad-eyed charisma, but perhaps Chris Tarrant could give it a whirl? And let's bring back Stars in Their Eyes, this time with Ben Shephard. He's hosted The Xtra Factor and Soapstar Superstar so we know he's good for terrible TV karaoke. Then there's Jim'll Fix It – the show ran a Christmas special in honour of the late Sir Jimmy Savile hosted by Shane Richie. Although maybe an even newer version could fix it so that there'd be a less irksome presenter...
