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.Birmingham demonstrated their desire to kick on from last season's impressive Premier League showing by moving for striker Nikola Zigic yesterday.
The 6ft 7in Serbian striker is expected to move to St Andrew's from Valencia for a fee believed to be in the region of £6m. Zigic, who has a less than impressive scoring record at the Spanish club – he did better on loan at Racing Santander – will have to take a pay cut: he earns around £60,000 at the Mestella.
Stoke, Blackburn and Sunderland were also thought to be interested in the 29-year-old, whose height and technical ability would add an edge to a Blues side which lacked penetration up front last season.
He is currently with Serbia preparing for this summer's World Cup, where they will face Germany, Australia and Ghana in Group D.
