Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Jo Pavey strengthened her claim to a spot on the British team for the Olympic women's marathon in London next year with a top-10 finish in New York yesterday.
The 38-year-old Devon athlete ran an evenly-paced race to take ninth place in 2hr 28min 42sec, finishing third European in a field dominated by East Africans. Her time was 18sec down on her debut run in April but, given the undulatingNew York course, an improvement on her 19th place in London.
Mary Keitany, the Kenyan who was a class apart in London, led by 2min 07sec at halfway but had to settle for third place in 2: 23:38. Firehiwot Dado won by four seconds from fellow Ethiopian Buzunesh Deba in 2:23:15.
