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.There are plenty of contenders for the Premier League manager of the season award this season.
Naturally the winner of the title race, Manchester City or Liverpool, will mean Pep Guardiola, who picked up the award last season, or Jurgen Klopp are most likely to claim the award.
But there have been excellent jobs all the way down the table.
Mauricio Pochettino is perhaps a victim of his own success, with his recent five-game winless streak dragging Spurs into a top four battle, and perhaps ending his hopes of claiming the award.
Here are the main candidates this season.
The award will be handed out at the conclusion of the season, which ends on May 12.
