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.

Shannen Doherty, the star of Beverly Hills 90210, has never had a positive profile in the media, with an abundance of negative stories ranging from boyfriend-bashing to house-trashing. In this light, last week's story, about her refusal to pay a pounds 2 charge to use a Hollywood car park, adds up to something near an image rehabilitation.

EastEnders' June Brown (Dot Cotton) had her car stolen, and Kai Maurer (better known as Dieter), one of the first to leave Eldorado last year, has progressed to a job as a waiter in a London restaurant.

Elsewhere, Pat Sharpe got his hair cut, and Freddie Starr went on GMTV, spat water at Eamonn Holmes and insulted Lorraine Kelly.
