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.DAVID ASHDOWN, the Independent's chief sports photographer, yesterday won his third major award this year.
His photograph (left) of the England batsman Mark Ramprakash tracking a delivery from the fast bowler Nixon McLean was selected as the best picture of the series against West Indies in the Caribbean earlier this year.
The competition was sponsored by Vodafone, who also back the England cricket team, and was open to all British photographers who covered the series.
The award completed a notable hat-trick for Ashdown, following his success in being named as the UK Press Gazette's Sports Photographer of the Year and his winning of the Sports Council's Best Portfolio title.
