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.The New Orleans Saints, looking for their second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons, take on the San Francisco 49ers in today's divisional round play-off.
The Saints had the NFL's top total offense during the regular season while the 49ers had the NFC's top defence. The Saints are on a nine-game winning streak and their quarterback Drew Brees has racked up an NFL record 5,476 yards this season, eclipsing Dan Marino's 27-year record.
The 49ers coach, Jim Harbaugh, said: "They are a great team, they have the ability to win a lot of different ways. They are a well-orchestrated, coordinated offense led by a quarterback that is having arguably the best year in the history of the game."
