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.

Sir: The rugby league Challenge Cup yet again, the Championship yet again, the Premiership and now Wigan have defeated Brisbane Broncos, the champions of what is in effect Australia's national sport. I wonder who will be nominated Team of the Year by the bosses at the BBC this time? Probably Will Carling and the chaps again . . . In other words, when is the media going to give rugby league the respect and coverage it deserves?

Yours faithfully,

CHRIS WESTWOOD
