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.Scorers of golden goals at the World Cup have a right to expect their careers to blossom. South Korea's Ahn Jung-Hwan, was probably looking forward to a pay rise from his club in recognition of his increased market value after his winner in the 117th minute on Tuesday sent Italy home early. One problem. The 26-year-old striker plays – or played – for an Italian side, Perugia, who yesterday rewarded him with the sack. The club president, Luciano Gaucci, was incandescent, accusing Ahn of insulting Italy and biting the hand that, until now, had fed him.
