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.

Lee Radford has been appointed as the new head coach of Hull FC. And the owner, Adam Pearson, is confident Radford can turn the club from nearly men into trophy winners.

Radford, 34, has been appointed on a three-year deal to succeed Peter Gentle, who parted company with two years left on his contract after Hull's humiliating 76-18 defeat by Huddersfield in the Super League play-offs.

"I want us to finish consistently in the higher echelons of the league and to be challenging for Grand Finals and Challenge Cups on a regular basis," Pearson said. "I don't see why we can't have that as an objective."
