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.Jupp Heynckes will take over as Bayern Munich coach from next season, the club said yesterday.
Heynckes, who opted this week not to extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen beyond this season, has signed a two-year deal with Bayern and will succeed Louis van Gaal. The club had already announced that Van Gaal would be leaving following a disappointing campaign.
Heynckes, whose low-key, player-friendly approach is the opposite to the explosive Van Gaal, previously won two Bundesliga titles at the Bayern helm.
