Media: Talk of the Trade: Talking pictures
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.COLIN JACOBSON, picture editor of the Independent Magazine, believes there is a strong cultural bias against photography within British journalism. Many editors do not value photojournalism as an essential part of the journalistic process, Mr Jacobson says. They use photographs because they have to, but believe they have no real meaning without the text.
That is the rationale behind Reportage, his new quarterly magazine of photojournalism, to be launched on 24 June. It will feature black and white photography only, telling stories in pictures and letting photographers talk about their work.
The annual subscription is pounds 12, from Reportage Subscriptions, First Floor, Stephenson House, Brunel Centre, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK2 2EW.
