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.

In the World Series finals at Queen's Club in London yesterday, England's Nick Matthew and Laura Massaro were both defeated.

Nicol David, Malaysia's world No 1, beat Massaro in straight sets to retain her title. "It really means a lot to me to start 2013 with a good win," said David.

"It didn't feel like a 3-0 love match because it was such a good match."

Matthew, meanwhile, lost to Egypt's Amr Shabana, despite winning the first game. "This is an amazing feeling. I love this tournament," said Shabana. "I have been here for more than 10 years and they've perfected it."
