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.

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.Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow insists the players share the fans' frustration after their dismal Carabao Cup exit at Brentford.
The pressure is back on manager Steve Bruce after the Magpies lost 1-0 in west London, missing a golden opportunity to reach a first major semi-final in 15 years and a first in this competition since 1976.
Sections of the Toon Army are once again calling for Bruce to be sacked, and Darlow understands their anger.
"We're the same. We're frustrated as well. I'm frustrated," Darlow told NUTV. "It's a case of doing what we can back at the training ground and finding some confidence. We look like we don't want to go forward.
"We didn't play well enough, we didn't start the game quickly enough for what it was - to get into a semi-final.
"We should be coming here and bossing the game, we're a Premier League team. It wasn't good enough all around the pitch.
"Playing a Championship club to get into a semi-final - you've got to be winning these games.
"We've got to show more than we did on the pitch. Everyone knows that. We need to look at ourselves and make sure we put it right, quickly.
"The ball didn't really drop for us up front. It was a cagey cup affair, one goal was going to win it and unfortunately it's gone to them.
"But we need to be coming to these games and making sure we boss the game and come out with the victory. We should be in the semi-final."
