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.Gary Megson has been appointed Bolton's new manager and signed a two-and-a-half year deal at the Reebok Stadium.
After leaving Leicester to move to Lancashire he will take charge of the struggling side for the first time on Sunday when they face Aston Villa at home.
Chairman Phil Gartside said: "We feel Gary is the right man to take Bolton forward."
Megson, 48, arrives at Bolton after a six-week stint at Coca-Cola Championship side Leicester.
He will watch his new players for the first time tonight when Wanderers take on Braga in the UEFA Cup.
Gartside is convinced Megson has the credentials to take Bolton away from the bottom of the league.
He said: "We have been able to interview a number of quality candidates and after due consideration decided to offer the post to Gary Megson.
"I have paid particular attention to his career and he has demonstrated to me he is prepared to roll his sleeves up.
"He has the right temperament for a battle, which this season is undoubtedly going to be."
