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.Stuart Gray has been placed in caretaker charge of Burnley following the departure of Brian Laws.
The first-team coach will be assisted by long-serving youth team coach Terry Pashley and club captain Graham Alexander.
The club revealed the three men would be in charge of first-team affairs for the next three games as they search for a new boss.
A statement said: "The trio will oversee Burnley's next three games following the departure of Brian Laws as manager and his assistant Russ Wilcox."
Laws left the club yesterday afternoon following a 2-0 home defeat to Scunthorpe and later released a statement through the League Managers Association.
It read: "Naturally I am very saddened to receive the news and disappointed that I will no longer have the opportunity to achieve my ambition of reaching the Championship play-offs this season and, ultimately, promotion back to the Barclays Premier League.
"I would like to take this opportunity to wish the club, the management, the players and the supporters all the very best for the future.
"I am taking advice from the LMA who will be working to reach an amicable agreement with the football club on my behalf. Accordingly, I will not make any further comment at this stage."
Bournemouth's Eddie Howe has been linked with the vacant post along with Sean O'Driscoll, Phil Brown and Gary Megson.
