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.Luxury British fashion house Burberry has become the first brand to launch a dedicated channel on Apple Music.
The maker of £1000 trenchcoats will use the channel to showcase its collaborations with British artists.
It marks the latest step in Burberry chief executive Christopher Bailey’s attempt to entangle the worlds of fashion and music.
The FTSE 100 company has previously teamed up with singers such as Tom Odell and George Ezra for runway shows and campaigns.
Bailey said: “There are so many extraordinary British artists and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with them and showcase their incredible talent. Music has always been intrinsic to what we do and I am excited about our partnership with Apple on this amazing platform.”
It will launch Burberry with exclusive videos from emerging artists such as Lilla Vargen and Georgie alongside a performance from Alison Moyet, to be filmed at the forthcoming Burberry Womenswear show on September 21 in London.
Subscribers to Apple Music will be able to find and follow Burberry in the ‘Curators’ section.
The Apple Music streaming service was launched in the summer, with hopes of competing with companies such as Spotify.
