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.

That the comedy slot is the domain of the post-pub audience is confirmed by the unusually large number of videos set to record them: Roseanne was taped by 300,000 viewers, Cheers by 200,000 and Clive Anderson by 100,00.

The FA Cup replay audience was 13.4 million, 2.5 million larger than for the first game. 'It makes a nonsense of those who said the country was fed up with watching Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday,' Kevin Flynn, a BBC spokesman, said.

All figures for week ending 23 May
