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.West Brom are hoping to sign Manchester United striker Federico Macheda on loan.
Baggies head coach Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed his interest on signing the 19-year-old on a temporary basis.
Di Matteo was initially interested in acquiring the services of Macheda for a spell at the start of last season.
There is much work to be done before any possible switch to the Hawthorns for Macheda goes ahead.
But Di Matteo admitted: "Macheda is someone we looked at right at the start of last season.
"He's a striker, we are after a striker and we have to look at whether Manchester United will let him join us."
Di Matteo has also been linked with Aston Villa's John Carew who has slipped down the pecking order.
Injuries to defenders Pablo Ibanez (hamstring) and Steven Reid (knee) during Saturday's 2-1 defeat against United mean Di Matteo is also considering adding in that department.
He said: "We have to look at that possibility."
Jonas Olsson is still sidelined with an Achilles injury while Gabriel Tamas is only one game into a three-match ban.
But Gonzalo Jara will return after a one-game suspension for tomorrow's clash at Fulham.
