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.

DAVID ASHDOWN, Chief Sports Photographer of The Independent and the Independent on Sunday, was last night named Sports Photographer of the Year.

The prize was announced at the Press Gazette British Press Awards dinner in London. Ashdown, who is currently in the West Indies for the England cricket tour, has been with The Independent since the newspaper's launch in 1986.

David Rose, also of The Independent and the Independent on Sunday, was commended in the Photographer of the Year category.

Last night's awards followed other recent Independent honours for photography, including the Newspaper of the Year prize in the British Picture Editor Awards.
