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.Super League's rawest coach is flying around the world to learn at the feet of the most successful man in the game. Garry Schofield, the former Great Britain captain, will guide Huddersfield next season without any previous coaching experience, but he and his assistant, Phil Veivers, are travelling Brisbane to spend 10 days with the Broncos coach, Wayne Bennett.
Bennett, Veivers' brother-in-law, has agreed to show the two men the methods which helped the Broncos to the Australian Super League title and the World Club Championship last year. "We hope to come back with a lot of new ideas," said Schofield. "If you can't learn from someone like that it's time to pack it in."
The Super League champions, Bradford Bulls, have released 20 players following the decision to disband their reserve side. Oldham are still left out of the Silk Cut Challenge Cup third-round draw on Monday, despite the offer from several amateur clubs to play them in an extra qualifying tie.
