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.

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.

The Old Trafford board is upset about comments made by Taylor after Cantona's latest alleged attack on an ITN reporter, Terry Lloyd.

Bruce Grobbelaar's former business partner, Chris Vincent, has changed his mind about divulging fresh information on match-fixing allegations involving the Southampton goalkeeper.
"I have taken legal and professional advice, but it's my decision not to go ahead," Vincent said yesterday. "Any future dealings I have with the media shall not include any specific information relating to the allegations I have made to the police."
Grobbelaar was charged by the FA with misconduct following Vincent's initial allegations.
