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.

The see-sawing battle for breakfast television viewers continues. Just a month ago, The Big Breakfast had closed the gap (measured in quarter-hour audience peaks) on GMTV, from over a million at the start of the year to 100,000. Latest figures show the gap has widened to 800,000, with GMTV on 2.2 million, its largest audience in its four-month screen life.

The best result over Easter was for C4's Easter Sunday film, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: the film's audience of 7.29 million was C4's largest of the year.

After a week's break, and with three months until close-down, Eldorado is back in the BBC 1 Top 30 with 7.15 million viewers.
