CRICKET
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.

Channel Nine, the television network run by Kerry Packer, has bought the Australian rights for coverage of the 1996 World Cup in India for £2.67m. The British rights for the event, which starts on 14 February, have been sold to CPP1, a cable consortium likely to come to an arrangement with the BBC.
Kent have signed the 27-year-old former Worcestershire spinner, Steve Herzberg, on a one-year contract but the fast bowler, Duncan Spencer, plagued by injury last season, will not be returning to the county from Australia.
