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.

Talk Radio investors sell

The North American investors in Talk Radio, the recovering all-talk commercial radio station, are selling their shares at a loss, leaving Media Ventures International solidly in control. Both CanWest, Canadian backer of one of the failed bids for the new Channel 5 licence, and Emmis Broadcasting of the US are selling their 24.5 per cent stakes to MVI. The move follows disagreements over the station's strategic direction and a decision by CanWest to concentrate on broadcast media in the UK.
