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.The Super Bowl is prime time for social media outlets and this year Facebook is looking to use the biggest sporting event in the US as a way to drive traffic to its website.
More than 50 million people were involved in the discussion of the Super Bowl last year on Facebook and the social media network has unveiled its brand new Super Bowl experience as a one-stop shop for those watching this coming Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
The Super Bowl experience will be a hub of photos, updates, controversies and opinions – you can count on the opinions – surrounding the National Football League’s championship game. Facebook announced the feature in a post today and said it hopes it will “bring people, athletes and journalists together in one ongoing conversation.”
Anyone watching the Super Bowl remember, if Marshawn Lynch takes the field in his gilded cleats, if Tom Brady is seen letting air out of each of the Patriots’ footballs or if Katy Perry has a wardrobe malfunction, you can follow it all on Facebook.
