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.

Michael Chang produced one of his best performances ever on serve to book a place in the final of thedollars 1.7m men's tennis tournament in Cincinnati yesterday. Chang, the defending champion, beat the US qualifier David Wheaton 6-3, 6-4, with 13 aces. Wheaton, who was known for a booming serve before hip and shoulder injuries sidelined him for five months, was impressed. 'This is the best I've seen Michael serve,' he said. 'His strategy was to keep me away from the baseline, and he did it well.' Chang will meet either Stefan Edberg or Michael Stich in the final.
