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.

It’s inevitable that in a weekwhere the Beatles make their videogame debut, other music games tend to look less exciting in comparison. That’s not to say that the latest Guitar Hero release isn’t good, but without full band capabilities and with a slightly rum selection of tunes, it fails to shine as brightly as it might. Still, there’s fun to be had with the new “easy in, easy out” feature, which lets players drop in and out of play, and the fact that you can play as, say, Johnny Cash, no matter what you’re performing, has great comic value.
