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.Steve Swanson, the assistant coach to the Brighton Bears when they lost the BBL play-off final last Sunday, has become head coach to the team that beat them, the Scottish Rocks.
Swanson replaces Kevin Wall, who had announced his retirement from coaching a month earlier. "I'm extremely excited," Swanson said. "I think it's a great fit for both the club and myself and I can't wait to get started.
The amount of energy and excitement surrounding the Rocks is impressive and I'm looking forward to trying to build on that.
"I want to continue to make sure that the fans see a competitive and exciting team at Braehead Arena again next season. It would be great to have a lot of the players from this year's team return for another season."
