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.

Wigan are poised to confirm former player Shaun Wane as their new head coach.

The Warriors have called a news conference for 2pm tomorrow to announce the successor to Michael Maguire, who has returned to Australia after a successful two-year spell at the DW Stadium to coach South Sydney.

Wane, a former Great Britain prop, has been Maguire's full-time assistant throughout his two seasons in charge and is expected to get the nod to take over.

Former dual-code international Iestyn Harris, who stepped down as Crusaders head coach following their withdrawal from Super League, is thought to be lined up as Wane's assistant.
