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.

Jazz star Jamie Cullum has landed a regular slot as a DJ on Radio 2, it was announced today.

The chart star, who released his latest album The Pursuit late last year, will host a Tuesday night jazz show from April 6.

The station's controller Bob Shennan said: "Radio 2 is proud to demonstrate a continued commitment to jazz by announcing this brand new show."

Last year the station dropped its annual jazz awards, which it organised jointly with Radio 3.

Long-serving presenter Desmond Carrington will move from his present Tuesday slot to a new Friday night position at 7pm from April.
