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.Eight major artists have created official limited edition prints for Team GB at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and The Independent has secured five of each print at a special price.
The eclectic prints were designed by Tracey Emin, Anne Hardy, Howard Hodgkin, Sarah Jones, Eddie Peake, Benjamin Senior, David Shrigley, and Sam Taylor-Johnson, and range from geometric depictions of swimmers to photo collages and broad oil strokes in the colours of the Brazilian flag.
Prints and posters have been commissioned for each of the Games since 1912, and this year the artists were asked to create unique images in celebration of Rio and Brazil, with the spirit of Team GB as their inspiration.
To see the selection and to buy an edition, go to countereditions.com/independent, and once at the checkout enter your special Independent readers' code: RIO2016IND
The limited edition prints will formally go on sale exclusively at Counter Editions from 2 August, to coincide with the start of the Games.
