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.

ON THE subject of my problems in tuning in to BBC World Service, a number of readers have written to recommend the advantages of investing in a digitally controlled shortwave radio, which can store all World Service wavelengths. These can be accessed simply at the touch of a button in order quickly to discover the best reception. .

Gabriel McGee of London recommends a visit to the BBC World Service Shop at Bush House, Strand, London WC2, which sells a range of suitable radios as well as their programme guide with hints on frequencies.
