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.

From the excitement of Mick Jagger Keith Richards and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones, chattily standing outside their plane as they arrive in Burbank, California, for “The No Filter Tour,” reminiscent of earlier days of rock n' roll press opportunities, to New York real estate scion Robert Durst s conviction to life in prison for the murder of his best friend, Susan Berman to the beauty of sunset in Istanbul as pedestrians walk across the Golden Horn Metro bridge, this photo gallery highlights some of the most compelling images from around the world made or published by The Associated Press in the past week.

The selection was curated by AP photo editor Pamela Hassell in New York.
