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.Jonathan Liew, chief sports writer of The Independent, has been named sports columnist of the year at the Sports Journalists’ Association awards.
Liew, 33, joined The Independent in 2017 from the Daily Telegraph and has become a key pillar of our sports coverage with his agenda-setting columns and features.
His ability to write on diverse issues, from intersex qualification in sport to Saudi Arabia and an imagined conversation between Alexis Sanchez’s dogs, set Liew apart.
Having just returned from the Caribbean where he was covering England’s cricket tour of the West Indies, Liew has spent the past year covering the Ashes, football’s World Cup in Russia and the Ryder Cup, as well as the daily grind of Premier League football, the Champions League and rugby league.
The Independent was also highly commended in the category of sports website of the year, and nominated in eight other categories.
