Television drama
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 days when the entire British viewing public could be scandalised by a rogue swear word on television are, thankfully, over. The handful of irate voices calling for the BBC to pull Jerry Springer - The Opera from its schedules tomorrow night belong to a different age. Mediawatch UK, which is orchestrating this campaign, has also chosen a bad target. There are many more offensive programmes on TV nowadays - most of which barely register a squeak of protest. Jerry Springer will go out after the watershed. If parents are concerned about their children being subjected to expletives they have a solution at their fingertips: turn off the TV.
