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.Andre Marriner will take charge of next month's FA Cup final between Manchester City and Wigan at Wembley, the Football Association has confirmed.
The showpiece match on May 11 marks the third refereeing assignment for the 42-year-old at the national stadium.
Marriner took charge of the 2010 Community Shield between Manchester United and Chelsea and was the man in the middle for Cardiff's defeat to Blackpool in the Championship play-off final earlier the same year.
"It's a great honour to be asked to referee the 2013 FA Cup Final especially as it coincides with the 150th anniversary of The Football Association," said Mariner, who was the fourth official for Manchester City's 1-0 win over Stoke in the 2011 final.
Marriner's team of match officials on for the final comprises assistant referees Stephen Child and Simon Long and fourth official Anthony Taylor.
