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.Queen's Park Rangers have signed DJ Campbell from relegated Blackpool. The striker, who scored 13 goals in the Premier League last season, signed a two-year contract with the club he supported as a boy as they prepare for their first campaign in the top flight since 1996.
"This was my first club, from six to 16, so to finally be back here at the age of 29 is really special," said Campbell, who grew up near west London's Loftus Road stadium.
"There were other clubs that showed an interest but when I heard QPR were in for me it was an offer I couldn't refuse."
