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.

Widnes yesterday parted company with Tony Myler, their coach, after Doug Laughton's return for a third stint as team manager. Myler claims he was sacked because he was not prepared to work with Laughton.

Oldham's Western Samoan forward, Joe Faimalo, has signed a new contract to the end of 1997 which covers the first two Super League seasons. Kiwi Jason Temu has verbally agreed a deal covering one Super League season.

St Helens have been handed a double boost by Andy Northey and Adam Fogerty. Northey has agreed a revised four-year contract, while Fogerty has signed a new 12-month deal.

Castleford have signed the former Doncaster and Leeds hooker, Colin Maskill, on an 18-month contract. Maskill, 31, will act as cover for Richard Russell, who will miss most of the winter season after damaging cruciate knee ligaments.
