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.Hey Z100 New York, that man that “will make Adele LOL” with his narration of her music video is not “this British Voiceover Artist”, he’s David f*cking Attenborough.
‘Sir David Frederick Attenborough OM CH CVO CBE FRS FZS FSA’, to be precise, a broadcaster and naturalist.
He doesn’t just lend his voice to nature documentaries, he is very much part of them, travelling around the world to study and delight in different animals.
He has honorary Doctor of Science awards from the University of Cambridge and University of Oxford and an Honorary Doctorate from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa.
Sir David has received the title of Honorary Fellow from Clare College, Cambridge, the Zoological Society of London, the Linnean Society, the Royal Society of Biology and the Society of Antiquaries.
He has several newly-discovered species and fossils named after him, including a goblin spider (Prethopalpus attenboroughi) and an Indonesian flightless weevil (Trigonopterus attenboroughi).
His latest series, The Hunt, is on BBC One, Sundays at 9pm.
Glad we cleared that up.
