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.The work of Ernst Haas, one of the 20th-century's most influential photographers, straddled Madison Avenue and art galleries. He created the original, iconic Marlboro Man campaign, while his spreads for Life and a 1962 show at New York's MoMA are credited for the popularity of abstraction and the acceptance of colour photography as an artform. Color Correction reveals still another side to his work. Previously unexhibited and unpublished works spanning 1962 to 1986, taken purely for his own interest, the book's plates are, in his own words: "Less informative, more suggestive — less prose, more poetry." Shown left is New Orleans, USA, 1960.
