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.GLASGOW RANGERS football club has joined forces with Mirror Group to set up a television joint venture, the Scottish League leaders announced yesterday.
The company, which will be based at Ibrox, will provide match-day television at Ibrox, organise screening of away matches, re-launch Rangers' web- sites and develop electronic commerce opportunities.
The new venture is in talks with several broadcasters about developing a Rangers Club TV show. The venture follows soon after Mirror Group's Live TV agreed last year to supply a local TV fanzine for Heart of Midlothian - Rangers' Edinburgh rivals.
"As the rights become available, the joint venture will start to exploit webcasting, Internet, radio and e-business opportunities," Mirror Group said.
Meanwhile, a spokesman insisted the company had not received any firm takeover offers from venture capital groups.
Press reports had suggested that a number of private equity providers had approached Mirror Group with a view to taking the company, whose interests include the Mirror, Sunday People and Birmingham Post, private. Mirror shares rose 10p to close at 159.5p.
