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.Both Norwich and Southampton come into this competitive fixture looking to bounce back in style with a win.
The Canaries are only a win away from moving up to 10th in the league if results go their way, but Chris Hughton will not let his side forget that they will have a battle on their hands when Southampton come to town.
The Saints will be disappointed with their last result as they lost at home to former manager Harry Redknapp’s Queens Park Rangers side, leaving them just three points off the relegation zone. Wigan will not play in the league this weekend thanks to an FA Cup tie with Everton, and Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino will hope his side can turn their good performances into positive results to move away from the relegation tussle.
