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.

Doncaster have put off a decision on whether to pursue their interest in Paul Cooke until after Christmas.

The former Hull, Hull KR and Wakefield stand-off, one of the game's most naturally talented and controversial players at his peak, has been out of the game for over a year since being released by the Wildcats. He has been dealing with family issues and doing media work, but now, aged 30, he is keen to play again.

He has told Doncaster that, if he can combine it with working in the club's development department, he is prepared to play for match payments only.
