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 Independent is launching a competition in conjunction with Clothes Show Live and Fujifilm to find the Young Catwalk Photographer of the Year. To enter, all you need to do is think "fashion-in-action", get out on the streets with your camera, and be creative. Great catwalk photography is all about catching a moment, and a look. Capturing style on the streets is a good starting-point.

A panel of judges, to include Tamsin Blanchard, fashion editor of The Independent, the veteran catwalk photographer Chris Moore, Caryn Franklin, presenter of The Clothes Show, and a representative from Fujifilm, will choose five finalists to attend Clothes Show Live and photograph the catwalk show on Friday, 5 December. The winning picture will be chosen from those taken on the day.

First prize is a Fujifilm GA645AF Autofocus camera worth pounds 995, and the chance to assist The Independent's catwalk photographer during London Fashion Week in February, with the winning shot published in The Independent, and two tickets to Clothes Show Live 97.

Two runners-up will receive pounds 200-worth of Fuji Professional film, and two tickets to Clothes Show Live 97.
