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 WILDLIFE Photographer of the Year award was won last night by Manfred Danneger, a German, for his image entitled "Boxing Hares".
The prestige competition, organised by BBC Wildlife magazine and the Natural History Museum, attracted 20,000 pictures from 60 different countries. The winners were presented with their awards at the museum by Sir David Attenborough.
Mr Danneger took the winning photograph along the edge of Lake Constance in southern Germany. "I saw this female hare fighting off the advances of the courting male as a signal that she was not ready to mate."
Mr Danneger, who shot the picture with a Nikon F4 with a 400mm lens, added: "I have been photographing hares for 20 years, but sadly the hare population in Germany has diminished significantly."
The photograph was described by the judges as a "perfect composition".
