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.

Following Kevin Ratcliffe's resignation as manager at Chester City last week the chairman Terry Smith has announced a five-man coaching unit at the club. The new set-up consists of David Fogg, Gary Shelton, Shaun Reid, Scott Cooper and Smith. The team will also have three captains: Ross Davidson is the defence captain, Nick Richardson the midfield captain and Luke Beckett the forward captain.

The Nationwide Conference club Doncaster Rovers have signed the Croatian midfielder Mirsad Bubalovic, a 27-year-old who has played for Hajduk Split and Croatia Zagreb. He joins Rovers from the French club Sochaux on a free transfer.
