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.Northern Ireland are set to name their new manager next week, with Michael O'Neill the favourite to succeed Nigel Worthington.
O'Neill, who ended a successful stint as Shamrock Rovers manager last week, is the first choice of the Irish Football Association.
Iain Dowie and Jim Magilton – who assisted O'Neill at Shamrock – were the other men interviewed for the post. All three represented Northern Ireland as players and are keen to take charge of the World Cup 2014 campaign, despite a disappointing end to Worthington's tenure which saw the side finish fifth in their qualifying group for Euro 2012. During his time with Shamrock, O'Neill won back-to-back League of Ireland titles and became the first manager to take an Irish team into the group stages in Europe.
