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.

I don't care how many times I'm told that Glee is a smart satire on High School Musical.

The end result is that the charts are now clogged with gruesome cover versions of pop hits by its prim, toothy cast. Journey's once-proud "Don't Stop Believin'" has already been damaged beyond repair, and other victims here include "Gold Digger" and "Somebody to Love". It's as musically satisfying as one of those Top of the Pops albums from the 1970s. The unedifying sight and sound of shiny happy people holding hands.
