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.Electronic Arts' 'Fifa' football game series has been causing sweary arguments between men and women who should know better for the best part of 20 years. However, the most severe punishment previously available to angry gamers was a clip around the ear from your fellow players.
But now with online gaming so speedy, players are able to take out their anger on others around the globe. But the latest instalment of the franchise may put an end to 'Fifa'-based effing and jeffing for good. A feature in the game, which is due out in late September, can recognise when players swear on their online-play microphones. This then makes the game's referees behave more strictly.
If only we had something as effective in the Premier League.
