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.DONCASTER ROVERS, who are 12 points adrift at the bottom of the Third Division, have laid off their coaches, Dave Cowling and Paul Ward, as part of a series of cutbacks.
The manager, Mark Weaver, has told the players they are only required to turn up on matchdays because there would be nobody to coach them for the rest of the week.
Cowling and Ward had both been working with the first team. The former Stockport and Rotherham boss Danny Bergara will stay on at the club to coach the juniors.
Rovers have also agreed settlements with players Simon Island and Darren Utley to cancel their contracts while their former skipper Ian Gore could also be set to leave.
