"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."
"Liz Williams was beaten to the post in dramatic scenes by Green candidate Hannah Robson in a rural Worcestershire election after recounts left them tied on 889 votes in May. It led to the election being decided by random, with two ballot papers placed in a box and Mrs Robson's name being pulled out, securing victory for the Green candidate."
News outlets rely on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while avoiding paywalls so reporting remains accessible. Funding supports investigative work, documentaries and interviews aimed at parsing facts from messaging. A Worcestershire county council election ended in a tie at 889 votes between a Reform UK candidate and a Green candidate and was decided by drawing a ballot paper from a box. The defeated candidate filed a High Court petition alleging irregularities and challenging the random draw. The petition was dismissed as out of time, and cited legal authorities could not be found.
