Going Out: Event World Press Photo
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.This month, there's the chance to see 200 award-winning images capturing the most powerful news events of 1997. The annual World Press Photo Competition serves as a platform for international photo-journalism, and provides a whistle-stop tour of the world, documenting all major news events, including Tony Blair's election campaign and Dolly, the first cloned sheep.
Selected from more than 36,000 photographs, an image by Hocine, featuring a grief-stricken Algerian woman amid the aftermath of the massacre in Bentalba, wins the accolade of "World Press Photo of the Year 1997".
