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.Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has been voted Czech Republic player of the year for 2015, the former Chelsea stopper picking up the award for a record eight time.
Sparta Prague striker David Lafata, the previous year's winner, came second and Hertha Berlin midfielder Vladimir Darida finished third in voting for the award based on a poll of players, coaches, football federation officials and journalists.
Cech first claimed the award in 2005, the year he was instrumental in helping Chelsea win a first English league title for 50 years.
The 33-year-old left Chelsea for Arsenal at the end of last season after securing four Premier League titles and a Champions League winner's medal. He also set a club record 220 clean sheets with the Blues.
Cech sustained a calf injury in the FA Cup defeat to Watford on March 13 but is expected to be back in action shortly after the upcoming international break.
Arsenal are third in the Premier League, 11 points behind leaders Leicester City with eight matches remaining as they pursue a first English league title in 12 years.
