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.

Boyband du jour One Direction know their audience.

By providing just the right amount of unthreatening sexiness ("Take it slow/ Let me kiss youuuu") alongside sing-into-your-hairbrush, life-enhancing pop, this has "OMG!!!!" written all over it. In pink glitter. The upbeat tracks are as catchy as conjunctivitis. But the slowies, such as the Ed Sheeran penned "Little Things", are too saccharine for anyone who doesn't practice kissing on the back of their hand.
