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.

Dave Bassett has signed a one-year extension to his current contract at Sheffield United. The Bramall Lane manager has been linked with several other clubs, but Bassett, who has pledged his future to United until the summer of 1997, said: "Hopefully this will end all the speculation. I've committed myself to Sheffield United and would not do a U-turn if a bigger offer came my way tomorrow."

The Football League has confirmed that Exeter City's future has been assured for another season. The Third Division club were able to give the League the necessary financial assurances before Wednesday's midnight deadline and have been included on next season's fixture list.

The former England defender, Russell Osman, is to sue Bristol City for unfair dismissal and breach of contract. Osman, who was sacked as manager last November, will have his case heard by an industrial tribunal in Bristol at a date to be arranged.
