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.

Goosen sets the pace

The South African Retief Goosen shot a two-under-par 70 in the third round of the pounds 300,000 Slaley Hall Northumberland Challenge to hold a four- stroke lead over England's Robert Lee. Goosen, looking for his first win on the PGA European tour, had a five-shot lead after two rounds but still managed to hold a comfortable cushion heading into today's final round. Lee fired a five-under 67 for a 209. Goosen was in at 205. England's Andrew Oldcorn had a one-under 71 yesterday and is six strokes off the lead.
