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.A picture depicting the courage of ordinary people that helped to create a monumental chapter in the history of the Middle East was yesterday voted the World Press Photo of the Year for 2011.
The image captures "a poignant, compassionate moment" as a Muslim woman cradles a wounded relative during last October's uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen.
The photograph, taken by Samuel Aranda, a Spanish photographer working for The New York Times, was described by the chairman of the jury, Aidan Sullivan, as "a living image of the courage of ordinary people". He added that it demonstrated "the human consequence of an enormous event, an event that is still going on".
