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.Russell Slade has been named Leyton Orient manager on a permanent basis.
The 49-year-old, who took over the east London club on a short-term deal in April and successfully guided them clear of relegation, has been rewarded with a two-year contract at Brisbane Road.
"Having achieved that short-term aim of staying in League One, we can now move onto longer-term objectives and there are lots of things involved in that," the former Brighton and Yeovil boss told www.leytonorient.com.
"I believe anything is achievable. You just have to look at the likes of what I did at Yeovil and what Blackpool have done this season to see that.
"It is possible and hopefully we can build the right type of squad, the right type of player at the football club, that can take us to places like Wembley."
Orient chairman Barry Hearn added: "Russ has injected a great deal of enthusiasm and energy in to the club over the last month and that's been great to see.
"We're busy planning for the new campaign, we'll be active in the transfer market and I'm already excited about August 7 coming round."
