"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."
"Bally Philp hauls up his baited traps from the waters off Scotland's Isle of Skye, checking each one methodically. Unlike most of Scotland's coastline, these waters are protected from industrial fishing methods that have devastated seabeds elsewhere. But Philp, who's fished for more than three decades, has watched conditions deteriorate nearly everywhere else along the coast. The inshore archipelagos on the West Coast of Scotland used to be full of fish, Philp said. We have no commercial quantities of fish left inshore at all."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating political financing and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and keeps reporting free of paywalls, relying on supporters to sustain quality journalism. Veteran fisher Bally Philp works waters around Scotland's Isle of Skye that are nominally protected, yet coastal fish populations have collapsed elsewhere. Although 37% of Scotland's waters are designated as Marine Protected Areas, few have enforcement measures, and bottom trawling and scallop dredging remain permitted across most coastal waters, crushing habitats and causing extensive carbon pollution.
