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.

Kentaro, the sports rights agency that has 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit in its senior management team, is looking to sell a stake that could value the company at £300m.

Minority shareholders are keen to offload their investment for a hefty profit. The size of the stake is to be decided, but a sale of 10 per cent could be worth £30m. Kentaro distributes the international media rights for England, who opened their World Cup campaign against the US last night.
