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 release of this athletics title should catch the last wave of Olympics enthusiasm before the whole show is packed away for another four years.
After the disappointing official title failed to capitalise on the glory of the Games, how does this also-ran stand up? At first glance, it fails to get near the podium, thanks to ropey graphics, skimpy career modes and illogical point-scoring. The quality of events overall is uneven, with some - swimming - being ghastly, and others -archery - coming out on top. Stick to the events you like, though, and there's some fun to be had. It's better than its official rival, but only just.
