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.

Next - a photo booth that does not take 10 minutes to deliver wet and tacky photographs. The French company Soft is looking for UK distributors for its booth, which it says is the first to use video and thermal imaging rather than chemicals to produce photographs.

According to Soft, this cuts developing time to 90 seconds from three to four minutes; photos are dry on arrival and can safely be handled immediately. There is no need for a flash - and therefore no risk of overexposure - and the pictures appear on two mini-television screens in the booth, enabling users to choose their favourites before developing.
