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.

What is it with the world's pop Goliaths and self-documentation? First Madonna gave us a peek into her soul (ahem) with the gruelling In Bed With Madonna. Then Elton John broadened our awareness of his true nature with Tantrums and Tiaras. Now Oasis too, the world's most publicised superband, want us to see them that little bit more, too.

"Was There Then" (geddit) is a collection of 200 photographs of the band taken over the last three years. "Patsy's in some of them too," assures the publicist. "They're behind-the-scenes pictures of the boys on stage and off and they've never been seen before by the press." Good God, what could this mean? Pics of Liam and Noel doing human things like "sharing a joke" or "talking on the phone"? Actualy, er, yes. There actually is one of "Liam asleep", bless him.

Was There Then? More like Go There If You Really Must.
