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.Failed to drag your rainbow flags, Conchita Wurst beards and Bucks Fizz to Stockholm for this year’s Eurovision grand final? Fear not, for there are multiple ways to join in the fun from the sofa, both online and on TV.
Tune into BBC One from 8pm for on-the-box coverage of all the action as UK entry Joe and Jake makes their bid for glory. Graham Norton is providing the commentary once again, after taking over from the late Sir Terry Wogan in 2008. He is planning to toast the Eurovision legend during song nine, for reasons he recently explained, so make sure your glass is bubbling full at that point in proceedings.
