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.

ACCORDING TO Thinking Allowed (4pm R4), the anthropologist is in danger of becoming obsolete. It remains debatable whether or not we should be trying to save this rare species, though the cause has been linked to our post-colonial climate. Anthropologists have been supplanted by cultural theorists and Laurie Taylor (right) uncovers the differences as Professor Adam Kuper remembers bygone days.
