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.

WIGAN are poised to sign a leading Australian Test centre after releasing their utility back Sam Panapa to Salford. Panapa will leave in a pounds 15,000 deal on returning from the Wigan World Club Challenge in Brisbane after agreeing a two-year contract with a further year's option. Jack Robinson, the Wigan chairman, said: 'We don't really want to lose Sam, but at 32 we can't offer him more than a 12-contract.'

WIDNES yesterday appointed Tony Myler as their fourth coach in three years. The former Great Britain stand-retired last season through injury and succeeds Phil Larder, who joined Keighley, last week. Jim Mills, the Widnes chairman, said: 'It is Tony's first coaching job, but we know he has the respect of the players.'
