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.Geri Horner and Gary Lineker are among the stars hoping to educate the nation’s kids as part of a new series called Celebrity Supply Teacher.
Made for CBBC and BBC iPlayer, the show will see a host of famous faces teaching kids on their specialist subjects during coronavirus lockdown.
Spice Girl Horner will be giving tips on creative writing, having authored a series of children’s books, while Gary Lineker will teach Spanish, a language he became fluent in while playing for FC Barcelona and living in Spain.
Speaking about the programme, Horner said: “I absolutely love writing – it’s a passion, so sharing the power of words on CBBC was a lot of fun. Together we can transport ourselves and create exciting magical stories.”
Elsewhere, Ed Balls will be covering history, The Chase’s Mark Labbett will be teaching maths and Glee’s Matthew Morrison will be sharing his insight into the world of musical theatre.
Marcus Rashford, Tim Peake, Heston Blumenthal and Kelis also among the group of teachers covering a variety of subjects from PE to British Sign Language.
Celebrity Supply Teacher begins on Monday 8 June, with new 20-minute-long episodes airing daily.
