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.

Wyeth cannot find the winning way

British champion Alison Wyeth had to settle for second place for the fifth successive year in the Reebok English National Cross Country Championships at Newark yesterday. Wyeth, 31, covered the six-kilometre course in 21min 59sec but was beaten in the finishing straight by Oxford University's Nnenna Lynch. And Lynch, an American post-graduate student, will face Wyeth again at the World Cross Country Championships in South Africa on 23 March. Preston's John Nuttall won the men's 14 kilometre race. The pre-race favourite, Yorkshireman Andrew Pearson, dropped out just after 11 kilometres, feeling unwell when contesting the lead.
