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.St Helens prepared for the advent of the Super League by appointing the former Rugby League official, David Howes, as chief executive yesterday.
Howes, 43, was the RL's public affairs executive for 20 years before setting up his own consultancy last year. His clients include Courage, Newcastle United - the football club who are interested in forming a rugby league team - and the English Basketball Association.
"Saints are the only club to have finished in the top eight every season of two-division football," Howes said.
"It shows the level of consistency and shows the capability of the board of directors, who have always been very ambitious," he added. "But the club has been the bridesmaid almost throughout the last two decades, so there's obviously a vital ingredient to be found."
