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.

(First Edition)

NEWCASTLE UNITED regained third place in the Premiership, which they had temporarily conceded to Arsenal, with a 2-0 win against Ipswich Town at St James' Park last night.

The visitors' defence frustrated Newcastle's efforts until the 37th minute, when Scott Sellars opened the scoring to the delight of the majority of a 32,216 crowd. Andy Cole completed the scoring 17 minutes from time with his 36th goal of the season.

Crystal Palace suffered their second home defeat of the season. The Endsleigh League First Division leaders lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough, Craig Hignett scoring their winner after 11 minutes.

This reverse was also the Eagles' second in three games, although they remain five points clear at the top of the table.
