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 that time of year again when we brace ourselves for the inevitable media flurry of reflections on the past year.1997's will be dominated by the death of the Princess of Wales; indeed this is one of the subjects touched on in the new exhibition at the The Gallery of the Association of Photographers, in which 60 professionals, including Nick Knight, Brian Harris and Tom Stoddart, have been invited to nominate their favourite image from the year. It's not all doom and gloom, however - Jean Paul Goude's mother and child image is a startling take on early Japanese prints, while Cameron Watt's cauliflower (left), taken from Sainsbury's The Magazine, effectively conveys what we've all been spoon fed. That nosh is the new rock `n' roll and ingredients are legends in their own shelf-life. But for many visitors to the exhibition, the image that will trigger their most satisfying memory of 1997 is David Modell's photograph of Michael Portillo, taken the morning after the night before, when he can't find his ministerial car. Shame.
Association of Photographers, 9-10 Domingo Street, London EC1 (0171-608 1445) to 17 Jan
