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.Music fans who were too young to experience 1969's "Summer of Love" - or can't remember it - can now relive the period and more online through the archives of Rolling Stone magazine.
Rolling Stone put its entire 43 years of archives online on Monday as part of a revamp of its website, RollingStone.com, making them available to readers for a fee.
"You'll be able to lose yourself in every issue since we started back in San Francisco in November 1967," Will Dana, the managing editor of the iconic music magazine, said in a blog post.
"Every review we ever published, every cover and the deepest, most thoughtful interviews with rock legends, from John Lennon to Lil Wayne, Bob Dylan to Kurt Cobain," Dana said.
Readers who sign up for "Rolling Stone All Access" will be able to see the full contents of each new issue online and the archives.
Much of the material on RollingStone.com will remain free but some will only be available to paid subscribers.
Rolling Stone is the latest US media outlet to experiment with putting some of its content behind a "pay wall," a move being contemplated by a number of other magazines and newspapers seeking ways to make money in the digital age.
The "All Access" service costs 3.95 dollars a month or 2.50 dollars a month with a year's subscription.
Dana said the "redesigned, reimagined" RollingStone.com is "cleaner and easier to navigate" and will feature new audio and video features including the ability to "instantly listen to any piece of music you read about on the site."
