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.

Eder ready

With several of the favourites skidding out, Austria's Elfi Eder stayed on her skis to collect her third World Cup slalom victory of the season at Semmering, in Austria, yesterday. Eder finished with a two-run combined time of 1 minute 40.70 seconds, giving the Austrian women their seventh victory of the season. Fourth after the first leg, Eder turned in the second fastest time of the second run, 48.55 seconds. She then saw Sweden's Kristina Andersson and New Zealand's Claudia Riegler fail to better her time. And the 25-year-old Austrian finally secured the victory when Urska Hrovat, the leader after the first leg, crashed out. Yesterday's win cemented Eder's place at the top of the slalom standings with 360 points.
