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.

THE former Australian captain Greg Chappell was appointed yesterday to coach the South Australian state cricket squad 25 years after quitting the team to captain Queensland.

Chappell was recruited to help boost the state's flagging performances in the Sheffield Shield competition. The Redbacks finished last in the six-team tournament in 1997 and 1998 after winning the Shield in 1996.

"All I can try to do is call on my experience and knowledge to come up with things that can help them in the areas they feel they need help," Chappell said.

In addition to coaching the side, Chappell will also develop new talent for future state and national sides.
