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.

Forget the mind-enhancing discipline of yoga or the fun factor of bashing balls into a net: EA Sports Active takes the “fitness is fun” concept pioneered by Wii Fit and puts it firmly back into the “no pain, no gain” slot usually occupied by exercise DVDs. Having said that, though, Sports Active is a great tool for getting the most out of the Wii and even having fun in the process, but expect to sweat rather than giggle your way through boxing, inline skating and dancing sessions. Every move youmake is turned into calories burnt, so if you are still reeling from the BMI assessments of Wii Fit, bewarned.
