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.THE latest in the excellent Odyssey Guide series is Introduction to Los Angeles by Gil Reavill (Hodder & Stoughton, pounds 9.95). It offers some fascinating information. For example, the final scenes of Casablanca were filmed at Glendale airport, which played the role of 'Casablanca Aero-Gare'; the Church of the Recessional in Forest Lawn Memorial Park is an exact replica of the church described in Thomas Gray's 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard'. 'It's hard to tell where Hollywood ends and the DTs begins,' said W C Fields, but Introduction to Los Angeles will help you sort it out.
