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.

Another week, another entry intoActivision’s Hero series – butwhile lastweek’s DJHero pushed the boundaries, Band Hero feels more like an exercise in rebranding. Though bundled with an admittedly excellent drum kit, mic and guitar, there is no getting away from the feeling that this is simply a Guitar Hero 5 add-on. That isn’t the worst criticism by any means, but it is a shame that there is little new here. It’s a fine starting place for newcomers to the series, just not revolutionary enough to demand a purchase.
