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.

Richard Young Gallery is launching a new exhibition of portraits by photographer Tim Motion.

The exhibition will feature pictures of some of the most influential jazz musicians in the history of the genre, including Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Bo Diddley, Slim Gaillard and Art Blakey.

Since he first attended the Lisbon Jazz Festival in 1971, Tim Motion has built an unrivalled reputation as a jazz photographer after opening a club that brought him into contact with the men and women who defined the genre.

An Eye for the Sound will open from 4 May 2010 to 7 June 2010 at The Richard Young Gallery in London.
