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.

Andy Hunt is stepping down as British Olympic Association chief executive at the end of the month just six months after he guided the host nation to its most successful Games medal haul in 104 years. Britain won 65 medals at the London 2012 Games and finished third in the medals table behind the United States and China.

"It has been an amazing four years," Hunt said. "I will always be proud to have led Team GB at a home Games and of their fantastic performance. Now, it's the right time to move on."

The BOA chairman, Seb Coe, praised Hunt: "Team GB had the very best facilities, care and preparation in London thanks to the tireless efforts and passion of Andy."
