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.

Portuguese star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) will be the face of the much-publicized jeans and underwear campaigns of Italian luxe label Emporio Armani, previously fronted by David Beckham.

Beckham, who had been Armani's spokesmodel since January last year, is currently working on his own range of men's underwear.

Ronaldo will grace the billboards and print ads starting early next year for the spring/summer 2010 campaign.

Beckham's wife Victoria, who had posed both by herself and together with her husband for Armani Underwear, also said earlier this year that she would focus on her own fashion line and not longer star in the ads. Her replacement has not yet been announced.
