"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."
"On a Monday morning, a helpline worker answered a call from an anxious parent whose 15-year-old son hadn't come home the night before. By lunchtime, they had also heard from a 14-year-old who had skipped school and was too afraid to return, and a 17-year-old girl who said she wanted to get on a train and never come back. By Wednesday evening that week, they had spoken to a missing 14-year-old in foster care who had been abused and was at risk of suicide."
The Independent covers major issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, emphasizing on-the-ground reporting and investigative work. The outlet avoids paywalls and seeks donations to fund journalists and reporting available to everyone. Missing People helpline staff handle numerous distressing calls from families and young people, including cases of teens running away, abuse, suicide risk, and families of autistic children. The Independent and Missing People are raising £165,000 to launch SafeCall, a free service providing support and safety for children. Approximately 70,000 young people go missing each year, and donations enable continuation of these services.
