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.England's Nick Dougherty finally had something to smile about this year with an eight-under-par 63 at Crans-sur-Sierre, Switzerland, yesterday to lead the first round of the Omega European Masters.
In a nightmare slump to 791st in the world the former highly rated prospect from Liverpool has not made a single halfway cut since the Hong Kong Open last November, just before he married Di Stewart, golf presenter for Sky Sports and former girlfriend of Jonny Wilkinson. "It's quite a bounce-back," said Dougherty when interviewed afterwards by his wife. "I do like to be a little bit dramatic when I do everything, as you well know."
