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.

The Norwich City manager, Nigel Worthington, feels his side needs the full backing of their supporters as they attempt to return to the Premiership after an absence of nine years.

Norwich looked nervous during the opening 45 minutes of their game against Gillingham at Carrow Road on Tuesday. However, urged on by a crowd of 23,000, Worthington's team scored three times in five minutes during the second half to maintain their place at the top of the First Division. "It's important now that the crowd back the players from the first minute onwards, Worthington said after their 3-0 win. "They were terrific in the second half but they didn't help us in the first half.

"They were edgy and they made the players edgy and that just isn't acceptable," he added. "I'm not having a go at them because the supporters have been magnificent home and away this season, but we're now at the stage where their support is going to be vital to give the players encouragement and take us over the finishing line."
