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 final instalment of the ever popular PROBIZ Tryline is now available for your listening pleasure.
14,500 people tuned in the last edition, and the producers are anxious to see whether that all-time high can be topped this week as The Independent’s regular rugby league podcast comes to an end for the season.
In this latest episode, Leeds Rhinos fan and reporter Bobbie Jackson was sent to Old Trafford to provide a Jack Bauer-24-style account of the day as it unfolded.
It was a final that only the bravest would have predicted, but one that will live in the memory for years to come.
Both Leeds and St Helens have tasted success and failure in the Grand Final since its inauguration in 1998.
But it was the Rhinos who continued their domination over Saints at this stage, securing a fourth championship in five meetings.
During Bobbie’s day out, he caught up with fans from both clubs building up towards the big fixture, while taking in the fantastic atmosphere at Old Trafford.
The action itself is described on the day by Yorkshire Radio’s Richard Stead and his expert summariser Richie Mathers.
And if that wasn’t enough, there is also post-match reaction to the final from the two coaches, Brian McDermott and Royce Simmons plus Rhinos captain Kevin Sinfield and Harry Sunderland Trophy winner Rob Burrow.
As ever, The Independent's Dave Hadfield is on hand to give a neutral assessment on the game, the season as a whole and a quick look ahead to the Gillette Four Nations series.
Rob O’Neill will also check out the latest news from your Super League clubs from the last week in ‘Stop the Press’.
