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.

JONATHAN DIMBLEBY recalls 50 Years of Any Questions (8pm R4), delving behind the scenes to look at their often opinionated audiences, and remember fondly the pre- programme dinners. Richard Osborne's excellent series The Other Karajan (3pm R3) ends with Herbert von Karajan's preoccupation with "love, death, dissolution and transcendence"; recordings include extracts from Tristan und Isolde, Mahler's Ninth and Strauss's Metamorphosen. Or you can get much the same themes on Radio 4, where the season of plays and reading based on Dubliners by James Joyce (right), ends with a Prix Italia-nominated dramatisation of The Dead (3pm R4).
