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.

Barry Hearn has said he wants a central role in the future of the game after Sir Rodney Walker failed in his attempt to be re-elected as chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association [WSPBA] yesterday.

Hearn said: "I relish the opportunity to revitalise the sport of snooker in the ensuing months. At this stage all I can promise the membership of the WPBSA is total transparency. Today is the beginning of a new era in snooker – we start now."
