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.Jamie Schroeder, who only began rowing in 2001, won the AXA British indoor rowing championship in a time of 5min 46.7sec at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham yesterday.
Schroeder, 21, from Stanford University, has joined the USA squad and is expected to be a fixture in the team for the Athens Olympics in 2004.
Tom Kay, Britain's longest-serving top lightweight and still only 33, finished fourth in a field that included the Olympic double sculling champions Robert Sycz and Tomasz Kucharski, and Eskild Ebbesen from Denmark's talented and successful lightweight coxless four.
The Under-23 championship had a strong Boat Race flavour. Robin Williams, the Cambridge coach, felt his team had shaded it, but explained that both had suffered recent sickness, with Oxford suffering worst at the Fours Head and the light blues worse off here.
