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.Mohamed Salah has won the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year award after a stunning debut season with Liverpool.
The Egyptian winger, who faces Roma in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesay night, becomes the first African to ever win the prize.
He is the first Liverpool player to win the award since Luis Suarez's stunning 2013/14 season - also the last time it wasn't won by a league champion - and only the third-ever double award winner from the Anfield club after Suarez and Steven Gerrard.
After winning the PFA Player of the Year award last week, Salah becomes the fifteenth player to be recognised by both the nation's leading football writers and players.
In a poll of around 400 members of the FWA, the winning margin is believed to have been fewer than 20 votes between Salah and De Bruyne, who between them comprised 90% of votes in this year's poll.
Harry Kane came third. The remaining players to receive nominations, in alphabetical order, were Sergio Aguero, Christian Eriksen, Roberto Firmino, Nick Pope, David Silva, Raheem Sterling and Jan Vertonghen.
N'Golo Kante won last year's award with champions Chelsea while Jamie Vardy was the 2015/16 winner after a sensational season in which he fired Leicester City to the Premier League title.
