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.Wigan have signed former England international goalkeeper Scott Carson from Turkish side Bursaspor.
The 27-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the DW Stadium and becomes manager Owen Coyle's fifth signing in a week.
Former Leeds and Liverpool keeper Carson told http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk: "I'm over the moon to join the club and for sorting the whole move out.
"Now the focus is to get my head down and start working hard in time for the new season.
"Coming into a squad with a new look to it is exciting. There are plenty of players coming in at the moment.
"But there are also a number of guys here who have been at the club for a long time so I'm sure they'll help lads like myself settle in, and right now I can't wait to start getting involved."
Carson has spent the last two years in Turkey and helped Bursaspor qualify for the Europa League last season, making 29 appearances.
He started his career at Leeds, moved to Liverpool in 2005 and had loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton and Aston Villa before joining West Brom in 2008.
