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.

TRIATHLON

Hamish Carter of New Zealand won the men's World Cup title yesterday when he finished second at Noosa in the Australian round of the 10-race international series. Gilberto Gonzalez of Venezuela won the event in 1hr 48min 26sec. Carter, who held a huge lead going into the final round, finished 12sec behind. The Australian Loretta Harrop won the women's event ahead of Laura Reback and Barb Linquist, both of the United States. Michellie Jones, the Australian who had already claimed the championship, failed to finish after crashing during the cycling leg.
