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.

The Premier League fixtures were released today marking the spiritual passage from 2014/15 to 2015/16.

The old maxim is that each team in the division plays every other twice, home and away, but the reality is that fortunes and careers can be decided by short spells - both easy and tough - in a season.

Supporters look first for their rivals and the crucial festive period of games, as well as their run in.

Here's how social media site Twitter reacted to the announcement:
