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.ILIE NASTASE will surround himself with the game's legends if he wins the presidency of the game's international governing body.
The flamboyant Romanian is one of seven candidates in the running for the top job at the International Tennis Federation. Australia's Brian Tobin is resigning as president after eight years and the election will be held at the ITF annual general meeting next week.
"I look at golf, where the players run their game," said Nastase. "I would have people like Becker and Edberg on it and women like Navratilova and Evert. They could make the connection between the ITF and the players. Nowadays I think most players don't know what the ITF is or what it does."
