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.Police in Burnley, Lancashire, have launched a murder hunt following the discovery of a woman's body tied in a roll of carpet. Carol Ann Clark, 25, had been beaten, sexually assaulted and knifed, before her body was dumped in the back yard of a vacant house opposite her home.
Lancashire police are seeking several people believed to have lived in the house next door to where she was found early yesterday. The area, one of the poorest in Burnley, has been associated with drug dealing, but police said Ms Clark had no known links with crime.
