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.On today’s Indy Football Podcast, stand-in host Jack Pit-Brooke is joined by chief football writer Miguel Delaney and chief sports writer Jonathan Liew.
The trio discuss their different experiences of Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool on Saturday evening, and how writing about a football game changes your experience of it. Can you take bias out of football journalism? What about emotion?
Then we move onto this season’s title race and whether we expect Manchester City to rack up another 100 points. Is this Manchester City hegemony good for the Premier League? Where will it all end?
And what do we make now of Leicester City winning the Premier League in 2015-16, a result that looks unlikelier than ever. Given what we learned from Football Leaks this week, what is the immediate future for the top end of the professional game? The Premier League in its current form will not be able to last forever as the richest teams pull away from the rest. Is football finished as we know it?
