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.

Christopher Price, one of the rising stars of the BBC, has been found dead at his home in London at the age of 34.

Mr Price was the host of Liquid News, the entertainment news programme. The ebullient presenter of the show on BBC Choice signed a £250,000 two-year deal to remain with the broadcaster.

He started his career in local radio and also worked for BBC News 24, Radio 5 Live and later developed his penchant for controversy at the Liquid News programme.

Scotland Yard said last night that he was found collapsed at his home. Police were not looking for anyone else in connection with his death.

Roger Mosey, head of television news, said: "We will miss his journalism as well as his wit. He was a sparky and entertaining colleague as well as a much-loved presenter on screen."
