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 EXHIBITION WORLD PRESS PHOTO RFH, LONDON

NEIL HALLIGAN

"It certainly makes you aware of what is going on in the world, rather than concentrating on your own area or country. The images here are striking. Some of the sports pictures I have seen in the national papers, but a lot of the images struck me as amazing."

PHILIP JAMES

42, photographer, London

"The images that stand out most were of the New York prostitute. It really told the story of that kind of desolation and survival. I think a lot of the pictures just happen to catch a moment in time and are quite effective. But some of them seem a little more staged. I tend to look at the staged images with scepticism, because I am aware they might not tell the full story."

ELISA KREY

25, photographer, London

"To have all these images in one gallery is amazing. It is inspiring to come and look at other people's work; how they have told the story in a single shot. I love documentary shots that tell me about something rather than shots that are set up. I prefer to see things how they are."

MAGNUS RUNE

20, shop assistant, Sweden

"There is a lot of violence at the moment. The images of Albania are really horrifying, the pure rage. It tells you something you wouldn't get on the news. When you hear the news you don't get how people think and how they feel, you just get the facts. I think it is very important to show this, although it is horrifying. You get the more human side."
