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.

Rob Bailey has been appointed captain of Northamptonshire after weeks of speculation. The one-year appointment ends a period of uncertainty for the former England batsman, who was vice-captain to Allan Lamb as Northants produced a sustained challenge for last summer's County Championship and also reached the NatWest Trophy final.

Dean Jones, the former Australia Test batsman, hit his 25th century for Victoria to give his side the initiative against the Sheffield Shield holders, Queensland, yesterday. Jones hit 17 fours and a six on his way to three figures and was unbeaten on 118 at the close on the second day as Victoria reached 300 for one at the Gabba.
