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.As another year draws to its end, nature has provided its usual spectacle from one season to another.
PA news agency photographers have captured the changing colours of the UK as it passed from last winter through spring, summer, autumn and back to winter.
Spring brought new life with snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells while lambs frolicked in the fields.
Spring turned to summer with beaches luring many to the sea and farmers preparing to reap what they had sowed.
Autumn brought the changes of colours and falling leaves.
Winter beckoned with snowfall in December adding a Christmas card feel as the festive season approached.
