New talents snap up photo awards
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.

A photograph of animal organs, arranged in bouquets as if in a still life, is among the winners of a national competition to reward emerging talent.
The image by Emma Hamilton, Flore Carneus (Meat Flowers), is one of five works by young photographers who scooped the Jerwood Photography Awards yesterday.
Works by Hamilton, Sarah Lynch, Richard Page, Travis Hodges and Léonie Purchas were chosen from more than 6,000 entries. John Gill, who chaired the selection panel for the awards, now in their second year, said the winners were based as far apart as Cornwall and Dundee, demonstrating that "an exciting new generation of practitioners" was emerging across the country.
Another winner, Travis Hodge, impressed with a documentary-like piece, Dead Time, which observes young men on the streets of Falmouth killing the hours in the evenings when there is little to occupy them.
The winning entries are on display at Jerwood Space, in Southwark, south London, until next Friday. Each winner receives £2,000 and will see their work published in Portfolio, the magazine sponsor of the awards.
