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.

From the television debates preceding the UK General Election to the growing tension on the Korean peninsula, 2010 has had more than its fair share of memorable events. With advancements in camera phone technology and the ability to instantly publish images on social networking websites such as Twitter, capturing (and sharing) the moment has never been easier. However, simply being in the right place at the right time is still a key aspect when it comes to grabbing those truly memorable shots. Here we take a look back at nine images that we feel best sum up 2010.
