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.

CARLTON Communications shares tumbled 6 per cent, and lost 7.3 per cent on the week due to concern that the company's ONdigital TV venture with Granada Group is lagging behind BSkyB's rival digital service, analysts said.

"If BskyB is doing so well, then Carlton may not be doing so well [with ONdigital]," said Mathew Horsman, an analyst at Henderson Crosthwaite Institutional Brokers.

ONdigital can be received with a normal TV antenna. Carlton is betting that it will appeal to households that want digital TV's clearer pictures and sound without subscribing to cable TV or installing a satellite dish.
