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.Party officials drawing up Plaid Cymru’s manifesto have accidentally left stock photo watermarks on pictures in the election document.
The mistake, in the online version of the Welsh nationalists’ manifesto, was spotted by readers this morning.
The images were overlayed with translucent white writing reading "iStock by Getty Images" – the name of a popular stock photo website.
A number of prominent pictures in the manifesto were affected, including a photo of a group of people jumping for joy, someone caring for a hospital patient, and a business meeting.
The watermark is supposed to appear on the sample version of images displayed by photography websites before the image is purchased.
Plaid Cymru blamed the incident on “human error”, according to BBC News.
The documents disappeared from the website this afternoon and were replaced by the correct images without the watermark.
The original version of the manifesto appears to have been a low-resolution draft copy.
The error has not been spotted on any printed copies of the manifesto.
