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.

Having presumably tired of sexting and Skyping, Korean couple Danbi Shin and Seok Li found a new way to connect through their photography.

Based in New York and Seoul respectively, they started a project called ‘Half&Half’, that sees them up line up their views of the cities symmetrically.

The results show the pair’s bond, the differences between their environments, and in some cases the similarities in them and their daily lives.

Okay, it’s not exactly a substitute for sex, but still quite touching all the same.
