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.

Wasim Akram's Pakistan World Cup squad were yesterday summoned before a judge heading a commission investigating match-rigging allegations. The commission will hear testimony from Wasim and 13 other players, who are expected to cross-examine the alleged bookmaker Salim Perevez, and the discarded fast bowler Ata-ur-Rehman, both of whom made match-fixing allegations.

Rushdie Magiet became South Africa's first non-white convenor of selectors yesterday when he was appointed ahead of three other national selectors, including Mike Procter and Clive Rice.
