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.Rockstar Games has released the second trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, which gives us a better look at the game's narrative.
It's "the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they rob, fight and steal their way across the vast and rugged heart of America in order to survive," according to the developer, which is still promising the sequel will come to Playstation 4 and Xbox One in its delayed spring 2018 release slot.
There's a lot to take in with the trailer, which is pretty atmospheric: all light shining through misty woodland and men carrying lanterns through murky bayous.
We also get a glimpse of train heists, a snowy location, saloon fights and alligator attacks.
The original game's protagonist, John Marston, doesn't feature in the trailer, but RDR2 looks to be set around the same time.
Set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective, the game is expected to feature both single-player and online multiplayer components.
