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.
Your support makes all the difference.Alan Shearer is expected to hear news on his future at Newcastle United today.
Owner Mike Ashley has been in negotiations with banks to maintain and extend Newcastle's £40m working capital facility, which is required if Shearer is to be given a contract and money with which to begin to restructure the squad. A provisional agreement is in place on the blueprint Shearer presented last week, but as of late yesterday there was still no indication of the response from the banks.
