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.

Zhang, who finished with a total of 223 out of a possible 225, did not miss one clay out of 200 in the preliminary rounds (an Olympic record), but she will have to aim at a new women-only event in 1996 as the International Olympic Committee will not sanction mixed shooting again.
Wang Yifu gave China, who won their first medal in 1984, their fifth gold of the Games when he won the air pistol with the last shot of the tournament.
