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.Just weeks after becoming the world's top-ranked women's player, Caroline Wozniacki will have to fight to keep that position at this week's WTA Championships in Doha.
The 20-year-old Dane will not face a challenge from the injured Serena Williams, whom she replaced as No 1, or Williams' sister Venus, who is also hurt. But Wozniacki will have to fend off Vera Zvonareva of Russia, the world No 2, whom she beat in a tough three-set match earlier this month at the China Open.
The eight-player tournament starts today with a round-robin group stage, with the top two players from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
Wozniacki and Zvonareva are in different groups but could face each other in the knockout rounds.
