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.A Welsh photography collective that gives photographers creating work in and around Wales a platform is holding an exhibition to showcase new images.
A Fine Beginning will display work from members Abbie Trayler-Smith, Gawain Barnard and James O Jenkins, as well as the 27 photographers who have had projects featured on the blog.
The artworks range in date from the past to the present day, with a picture from A Lost Resort by Stephen Clarke offering a nostalgic look at an old seaside ice cream parlour.
Another striking photograph focuses on a couple and their dog in the back of a taxi, while an image from Jooney Woodward’s Landscapes series captures a woman walking her dog above a modern housing development.
Steam rises from a hot iron as a man presses his apron in a picture from the Caldey series by Francesca Jones and a black of white snap of men surrounding a cow from James A Hudson’s Last Days of the Abergavenny Livestock Market could surely be considered a historical artefact.
Named after the first chapter of Dylan Thomas’s unfinished novel Adventures in the Skin Trade, A Fine Beginning will be holding its Made in Wales exhibition until 16 November at Carousel London.
