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.

This year’s National Television Awards (NTAs) shortlist has been announced, Ant and Dec being put forward for best TV presenter once again.

The duo may face stiff competition, from Bradley Walsh, Holly Willoughby, and Phillip Schofield. Of course, they have won the past 15 times in a row so could very well take home the award again.

Unlike the majority of awards, the NTAs are purely decided by the public vote, which has now opened. See the full shortlist below.
