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.

Former Hull and Hull KR favourite Paul Cooke will today tell Doncaster if he wants to join them in a joint role as player and community development officer.

The club have put forward an offer where they would pay him £600 a month, if fans and sponsors are able to come up with another £600.

Cooke, 30, has been out of the professional game for over a year, after being released by Wakefield.

Chairman John Scarrow said: "Paul is in tremendous shape and his attitude is first-class. I'm sure he will be an asset to the club, both on and off the field."
