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.Paula Radcliffe yesterday confirmed two important developments – that her first marathon since winning the 2005 world title will be New York on 4 November, and that she plans to produce a sibling for her eight-month old daughter Isla between the Beijing Olympics and the 2012 Games.
"I wanted to come back in a top quality marathon, and the New York field is stacked," she said. "Between now and the Beijing Olympics what I want to do is try and get into competitive races and win them."
She added that she wanted another baby sooner rather than later. "It certainly won't be before Beijing, but we don't want to have a child who is seven or eight years younger than Isla," she said.
