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.Paris (Reuter) - Uninterested in audience ratings and determined to 'disturb', a Franco- German cultural channel began broadcasting on network television in France yesterday. Inviting viewers to 'the land of your imagination' Arte, a bilingual station owned by the two states, promised to 'change your life'. The brainchild of President Francois Mitterrand and Chancellor Helmut Kohl, it was launched four months ago on cable networks. 'I am 150 per cent for and with the Germans,' the film actor Gerard Depardieu told Arte viewers.
