The Independent emphasizes the critical need for on-the-ground reporters to cover pressing issues such as reproductive rights and climate change, while also highlighting their commitment to providing accessible journalism without paywalls. Their investigative efforts aim to clarify facts amidst complex narratives. Additionally, they transition to discussing the Royal Horticultural Society's predictions about a significant drop in slug populations this spring, attributing it to recent cold and dry weather that has created less favorable conditions for slugs after a record surge in 2024.
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.
