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.An intriguing program that allows you to see your fitted kitchen before it is built has won the Independent Award for the most innovative use of multimedia in business. On Demand Information, which produced Kitchen Art for the Design Academy, was presented with the award at last week's British Interactive Multimedia Association's annual awards dinner.
Kitchen Art consists of a database of units, tiles, sinks and the like that are stored on a central computer. This is linked by ISDN lines to PC in showrooms. The salesperson can download the elements the customer wants to build up a "virtual" kitchen on screen.
