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.It's difficult for a photographer not to make a cliche of Spain, especially this year, when the Columbus celebrations, Seville Exposition and Barcelona Olympics have combined to produce a glut of Hispanic images. Barbara Lloyd, in Reflections of Spain (Thames & Hudson pounds 18.95, published 27 July), manages the difficult task of offering new perspectives on the grand sights - the Alhambra in winter, autumn in Castile, the spires of Antonio Gaudi's unfinished Sagrada Familia - and on the familiar - the bullfights and bull-running, the Holy Week processions, the village fiestas. But her true eye is for the detail that's easy to miss: farm doorways, an old man and his dog in an urban backwater and this father and son in Ronda.
