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.Here's a version of America's number one TV event that might finally appeal to the British: not a pigskin to be seen, no nachos, no halftime ads for dubious soda-making enterprises - just beautiful, beautiful creatures doing what it is they do best.
Responding to the NFL's aggressive protection of the SuperBowl trademark, US comedian and chat show host Stephen Colbert said: "I believe we can cover this story like nobody else simply by moving one consonant in the title", thereby coining the avian extravaganza that has become... the Superb Owl!
Competition for the title of most superb owl is heating up on Reddit. Take a look at some of our favourites:
The 'wind in her hair' owl...
The unbelievably sweet tiny owl...
The owl who'll break you if you call it a broken wing...
The owl carved from a fruit...
The owls who shake like cheerleaders...
The owl who knows what you did...
The owl who looks like an apple...
And the true spirit of owl...
