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.

WIGAN'S board will tonight discuss the future of the club captain, Dean Bell, who has been offered the chance to captain the Auckland Warriors when they enter the Winfield Cup at the same time as the Queensland Crushers and two other new teams. Bell is tempted by the prospect of going back to his home town and rejoining his former Wigan coach, John Monie, for what would be an historic season for rugby league in New Zealand, but the promise of a new contract when his current one expires at the end of this campaign could keep him at Central Park.

PAUL TOPPING, the Leigh utility player who retired after a long dispute with the club, has been persuaded back by Oldham.
