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.Yesterday evening marked the end of a chapter. Not a particularly august chapter, or a particularly well-watched one, but nonetheless the latest series of Channel 5's Big Brother drew to its close last night. It's been a rocky ride, what with the viewing figures halving from a 2.7 million peak and those nasty accusations of bullying. But still we can wish the contestants well (apart from the bullying ones) as they emerge blinking into the light.
So what have they missed, in these past 10 weeks? Well, Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has been done for fly-tipping – one of her scripts gave the game away (would you believe it?); pig farmers' group BPEX warned of a hike in bacon prices when a new EU directive kicks in; while Towie's Gemma is back with Arg after a barney. A dog called Norman also fell off something high but was unharmed. Oh and there was some sporting tournament in east London or something. But, I mean, can you believe that Kym Marsh – with her money, too?
