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.

NBA 2K15 was released earlier this month to huge critical and popular acclaim.

The basketball game was, however, stuck with one issue in the early days of release that caused quite a stir on the internet - as the face scan feature on MyPlayer led to some quite horrible creations.

But 2K Sports, who soon fixed the problem, have now hit upon a little bit of marketing genius to laugh at their resolved problem.

On their Facebook page, the game's developer has picked eight of the best dodgy face scans and turned them into Halloween masks.

So if you're looking for a quick and scary last-minute Halloween costume, they've even attached 'how-to' instructions (cut out the eyes and attach string).
