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.At almost any family gathering these days there is always a slightly disreputable uncle who gets out a video camera and starts to embarrass everybody by pointing it at people as they eat spaghetti or try to have a serious conversation about somebody's drink problem. Some people retreat behind gadgets as a substitute for conversation.

Some people retreat behind gadgets as a substitute for conversation.
Although it is unusual for the uncle to intend to sell the resulting home movie at the car-boot sale, a sharp reprimand from a more senior family member is usually sufficient to bring the offender to heel.
The attempt by Ardent Productions to film Prince William at St Andrews University is, therefore, presumably a cunning plan by Prince Edward to convince an increasingly monarcho-sceptic public that the Royal Family, although it does not ride bicycles, really is just like the rest of us.
