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.

TOM PILSTON, staff photographer with the Independent on Sunday, has won one of the country's most prestigious prizes for photo-journalism.

Judges at the 25th Nikon Press Awards named Pilston, 31, best features photographer of the year and presented him with a cheque for pounds 1,500. They praised his ability to capture life and movement.

David Swanborough, picture editor of the Independent on Sunday, said: "His strength is his ability to find the unusual or revealing image."

His winning entry contained a picture of Cuban life (left), the Rosemary West hearings, Chelsea fans being searched for weapons and saboteurs confronting hunters.
