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.

Pete Doherty toasts the camera while Carl Barât strums a guitar at his side; a young, sweaty, Foo Fighters grin backstage after a show; Amy Winehouse looks down and bites her thumb, hiding a mischievous grin beneath – these are just a few of the images captured by NME photographers over the years, framing pieces of rock 'n' roll history in the process.

The NME Collection is a set of 25 iconic images from the pages of the legendary music magazine, reproduced by Sonic Editions, to celebrate the publications 60th birthday today.
