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.Gianfranco Zola's future at Upton Park remains a matter of speculation but the West Ham manager will not discuss the issue until his meeting with club owners David Gold and David Sullivan next week.
Zola successfully negotiated a turbulent campaign to keep West Ham in the Premier League and a victory over Manchester City tomorrow could see them finish as high as 14th. "I need to focus on the game and then I will talk to the club and we will see what the outcome is going to be. We are going to meet some time next week," Zola said yesterday. "I am a professional person. I am paid by the club to do a job and I try to do it as best I can.
"I'm not going to give any excuses, we should have done better this season. I was expecting more. But I have to add that the circumstances and the environment have not been easy and people should remember that."
