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.

Leeds Rhinos yesterday filled the two remaining places on their overseas quota by bringing the highly rated Australian pair Martin Masella and Wayne Collins to the Super League.

Masella, a prop forward who has played for Illawarra, Balmain and South Sydney, represented Tonga in last year's World Cup. He was originally recommended to Leeds by Mike McClennan, the former St Helens coach who was in charge of the Tongan national side.

Collins, a former St George and South Queensland Crushers hooker, was a member of the Canberra Raiders squad beaten 30-18 by Widnes in the World Club Challenge at Old Trafford in 1989.

Tony Fisher, who guided Doncaster to the top flight two years ago, has been appointed as coach by the Second Division club for the second time. He replaces the Australian Peter Regan, who moved to Batley in October.
