Empowering Journalism with Your Support

Reproductive Rights and Beyond

From investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC to producing our latest documentary 'The A Word' that shines a light on American women fighting for reproductive rights, The Independent is at the forefront. We know the importance of parsing out the facts from the messaging and bringing you the truth. Whether it's big issues or personal stories like Coleen Rooney's miscarriages, we are here to tell it all.

Rooney, with four children and two miscarriages, shared her experiences. She wanted a girl for her husband Wayne but was content either way. Her first miscarriage was before having children, and the second came before having Kit and Cass. Despite the pain, knowing she could conceive and have children gave her some comfort. It's a reminder of the struggles and emotions involved in family life.

Sports Management and the Rooneys

Ahead of entering the jungle, Rooney revealed that she barely sees her husband Wayne due to his new role as manager of Plymouth Argyle. Wayne was appointed in May after a short stint at Birmingham. This has brought new challenges and pressures. McFly singer Danny Jones asked Rooney about Wayne's experience as a manager, and she said he does enjoy it but it's hard. She finds it more nerve-wracking than when he was a player and feels more pressure herself.

The Rooneys' story shows the impact of different life situations on a family. From reproductive rights to sports management, these are the real-life stories that we strive to tell through our journalism. Your support helps us continue to bring you such in-depth and meaningful content.

Trust and Quality Journalism

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the political spectrum. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out with paywalls. We believe that quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference in keeping our doors open and our reporters on the job.

Whether it's covering big events like the 6-1 defeat of Wayne's team or having deep and meaningful conversations on I'm a Celebrity, we are committed to providing you with the best journalism. With your help, we can continue to make a difference.
