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.Wigan will be without one of their key signings for 2011 at the start of the Super League season.
The former Melbourne half-back Brett Finch has injured his neck in training and will need surgery. Although Wigan have not put a timescale on his recovery, it is believed that he could be out for up to three months.
"Brett is a great character and we know he will be looking to get back as soon as possible," said the Wigan coach, Michael Maguire.
Finch's other two Melbourne team-mates, Jeff Lima and Ryan Hoffman, will make their Wigan debuts in the pre-season game at Salford on Sunday.
But they will be without last season's Man of Steel, Pat Richards, who is still recovering from the Achilles tendon he ruptured in the Grand Final.
