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.Alan Yentob was appointed director of programmes by the BBC, making him the "creative leader" across its television and radio production. His new brief covers drama, music, arts, sport, children's and factual shows as well as English language work for the World Service.
In a move predicted by the Independent last week, he will lead the board of management programme committee on which the directors of radio and television, channel controllers and production heads sit. Previously controller of BBC1, a post which now disappears, Mr Yentob commissioned some of the corporation's most successful programmes including Pride and Prejudice.
