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.

You know you’ve got a hit show when you can post a teaser about the mere fact that a new season of it has gone into production and it attracts over a million views in a couple of days.

The official Game of Thrones YouTube account has released a two-minute ‘In-Production Tease’, formally announcing that work has begun on the new episodes and showing off the crew’s hard work.

There’s nothing to glean with regards to the new season, but if you’re a big fan of sanding, hammering, painting, welding, sewing and such then you’re in for a real treat.

Frankly, the show is so big that it could just post a video of Kit Harington saying “Game of Thrones” in slow motion and millions would watch it.

You’ll have to wait a little longer than usual for the next season, due to the creators requiring colder weather for filming this time around.

"Now that winter has arrived on Game of Thrones, executive producers David Benioff and D B Weiss felt that the storylines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing,” Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming, said in a statement last week.

"Instead of the show's traditional spring debut, we're moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule."
