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.

Tinder, the world-conquering dating app and executioner of romance, is to become the subject of a TLC reality show.

It had to be TLC really didn't it. Here's the show synopsis as per Deadline:

'Today’s dating world has moved beyond the boy next door, the guy at the end of the bar and the friendly set-up. Dating has gone digital by scrolling through hundreds of online photos and ‘swiping’ to show your interest. Hosted by Clinton Kelly and Devyn Simone, Swipe Right is the groundbreaking new series that brings the traditional makeover show up to date by transforming not only the wardrobe and attitude of our contributors but their entire social media profile.'

As a big fan of Breaking Amish and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo I am seriously hyped for this. Will selfies be judged by a sassy panel? Will obligatory 'problems along the way' revolve around unsolicited d*ck pics? We'll find out in the third quarter of 2015.

Other new shows announced by TLC includes Quinceañera, which centres on a Latin American dress shop, and Hardly Royal, which follows an American man's attempts to prove he is the King of the Isle of Mann.
