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.

The soap on the Spanish coast is out, in come the Welsh valleys. From January, the Welsh language soap Pobol y Cwm (People of the Valley) will be broadcast throughout Britain. At present it goes out five nights a week in Wales, where it has an average audience of 200,000, nearly half the Welsh- speaking population. Viewers reading their way through the proposed subtitles will discover that Pobol y Cwm has a healthy diet of staple soap ingredients: recent plotlines have involved cot death, abortion and murder. Pobol y Cym's 19-year run in Wales makes it BBC Television's longest running soap. It is also the BBC's only home-produced, five nights a week drama serial.
