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.Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, the pair who marked their return from the professional ranks with a gold medal at the Lillehammer Olympics, will not compete at the world championships in Tokyo next month. Natalia Mishkutienok and Artur Dmitriev, who won the Olympic title in 1992 - four years after Gordeeva and Grinkov first won it, are not in the Russian team either. Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeny Platov, who took the ice dance gold medal, will attempt to add the world title to that.
