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.

This year the World Photography Organisation has partnered with Hotel Indigo to develop a UK-wide student programme to recognise and reward the next generation of exciting British-based photographers.

Eight hotels have been paired with local universities taking part in the WPO Student Focus programme to create unique photography projects inspired by the hotels’ surroundings. All the finalists will have their work exhibited at Somerset House, London as part of the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition from 1 -18 May 2013.
