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.Tennis star Monica Seles failed yesterday in a bid to win damages from the German Tennis Federation for a knife attack by a spectator which kept her out of the sport for more than two years.
A court rejected her claim that security measures at the Hamburg Open in April 1993 were inadequate, allowing her attacker to jump from the stands and plunge a knife into her back. Lawyers for Seles had claimed pounds 10m for damages and lost earnings. Hamburg - Reuter
