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.

The first trailer for Charlie Brooker's fourth season of Black Mirror has been released, with six new episodes coming soon to Netflix.

It reveals the titles for all of the new episodes along with glimpses of a few scenes from each of them.

There's 'Crocodile', set in a snowy location, 'Arkangel', apparently centring on a child with some sort of implant, 'Hang the DJ', which involves a new handheld device, 'USS Callister', a campy-looking space drama starring Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemons, 'Metalhead', which looks to involve robots, and 'Black Museum', a racially-tinged instalment.

Now Brooker commands a Netflix-sized budget, he has been able to land major talent for the anthology of the show in front and behind the camera, with directors this season including Jodie Foster and The Sopranos' Tim Van Patten.

Beloved Black Mirror season 3 episode 'San Junipero' is up for an Outstanding TV Movie Emmy at this year's Emmys.
