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.Bristol Rovers have appointed Dave Penney as their new manager.
Penney guided Doncaster to promotion from the Conference in 2003 and then won the League Two title the following season, and has also managed Darlington and Oldham.
Penney told his new club's official website, www.bristolrovers.co.uk: "I made a conscious decision when I came out of Oldham I was going to try to choose the right football club, and I have been in the fortunate position that I could wait a bit. This felt right when I had the interview.
"It is an exciting time for myself and something for me to get my teeth into. When you can get this club going in the right direction the fans get right behind the team.
"There is half a season left and plenty of time to turn the season round, get the players back at it and add a couple of additions in the next month to make us stronger.
"Every game is winnable if you go in with the right attitude. We have got to go into games with that frame of mind. First and foremost we need to make sure we are in this division next season."
Penney replaces Paul Trollope, who was sacked in December. Rovers are currently third from bottom in League One.
