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.

JUST when you thought you'd finished with the Olympics for four years, writes Chris Maume, the science and technology series Equinox goes to Barcelona (today on C4, 7.0) to investigate the transformation of a city in the six years from successful bid to successful Games.

As for that alleged 'whole new ball game', which kicks off with Forest v Liverpool today and Manchester City v QPR tomorrow, the Sky press release gives a pungent flavour of what's to come: 'Thrills, noise, colour, sex appeal, glamour and entertainment with a capital E'.

No frills today, but tomorrow you'll get the Red Devils landing with the match ball, 'new chartbusters Undercover' and high-kicking dance routines from the Sky Strikers, 'a stunning all-girl team of professional dancers'. Oh God . .
