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.

James Brown's manners may not be to everyone's taste (his taste may not be to everyone's taste) but there is no denying he is the most revolutionary force in British magazines today (Review, 5 October). Loaded not only changed the face of publishing, it shifted our cultural landscape, it shaped its time. To write a profile without acknowledging Brown's achievements is unfair, lax and mealy-minded. Brown might be wayward but he's talented and gets results more pedestrian editors can only dream of: you don't get the goals of Ian Wright without the tantrums.
