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.The 2011 Picture Editors' Guild Award winners were revealed at a gala dinner in London last night, with Matt Dunham of the Associated Press being named SABMiller Photographer of the Year.
His triumph came after he also secured the title of British Airways Royal Photographer of the Year and commendations in two other categories. His portfolio included a picture published across the world showing a shocked Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Charles as their car was attacked by a rioting mob.
The expanded Awards contest had nine category winners including an innovative section devoted to recognising the impact of 'Citizen' photography. Sir Harry Evans, Fleetstreet legend and currently editor-at-large for Reuters, presented the prizes of cash and trophies at an event hosted by the BBC's Kate Silverton in London.
Thousands of images were entered for the contest from press photographers working throughout the United Kingdom and were judged by a panel of 12 senior picture editors representing national and regional publishers and media agencies.
