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.Dan Hunt, who coached Great Britain's men to Olympic team pursuit gold at the London 2012 Olympics, has joined Team Sky as sports director.
Hunt helped Geraint Thomas and Peter Kennaugh to Olympic gold in August, after working with Sky in their inaugural year in 2010. He said: "I want to learn the races and relearn the job of a sports director. But maybe also bring different things to the table, because I'm not an ex-pro.
"I haven't ridden these races, so I've got a bit of homework to do. I need to expose myself to as much racing as possible to maximise my learning over the first year. I want to be good at this and it's going to take time."
