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.

Renowned photographer Anouk Masson Krantz has been drawn time and again to the great American West and its cowboys and ranching communities.

In West: The American Cowboy, Anouk documents this enduring symbol of America’s pioneering spirit.

Long admired for their strength, work ethic, and humble values, the cowboy is alive and well – but has never stood in such stark contrast to the rapidly changing nation they call home.

A unique collection from an award-winning photographer and storyteller, the book is an artful, intimate study of American character and sense of place.

You can purchase ‘West: The American Cowboy’ from The Images Publishing Group at ACC Art Books, £45
