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.Port Vale's administrator has said that local businessmen are interested in buying the club.
Vale were put into administration last week and are looking for a buyer to stave off the threat of liquidation. They are reported to have debts of up to £4m, including owing £1.8m to Stoke city council.
"We have had half a dozen parties ask for details and make tentative enquiries," said the administrator Bob Young. "Of those I've had meetings with two. One is the IPP Group. The director of that company lives locally and his family, I'm told, are Port Vale fans, so that's encouraging."
