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.Despite hopes that the British might have become more mature about their bodies, it would seem that what has brought readers to the Sun for the last 25 years is perfectly capable of bringing viewers to Channel 4.
Breasts, a documentary featuring up to a dozen topless women earnestly discussing their feelings about their eponymous endowments, entered Channel 4's top 10 most watched programmes, it was revealed yesterday. More than 3m people tuned in, enabling the programme to compete with Channel 4's usual top-rated programmes, like Brookside and Friends.
In fact, it was Channel 4's seventh most viewed programme, and an analysis by advertising agency The Network showed that 51 per cent of the viewers were men.
