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.

Thomas Sutcliffe, the Independent's television critic was yesterday named the Broadcasting Writer of the Year in the What the Papers Say awards.

The award, in memory of the TV critic Peter Black, is for work "which illuminates and brings understanding to the world of broadcasting".

The judges said of Sutcliffe that "where other reviewers may be too eager to pick off some easy targets he is the person you turn to if you want to read a review of a good programme. He knows about television, appreciates and understands it".
