"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."
"What would it have been like to stand among the first audiences of Shakespeare's Hamlet? Rough-clothed shoulder to rough-clothed shoulder, muscles swollen from a hard day's work, a stink of garlic and beer in the air yet, from on stage, those words of madness, of the futility in grief, quietly tethering heart to heart, stranger to stranger? At least five major outbreaks of the bubonic plague struck London within Shakespeare's lifetime."
The Independent covers a broad range of major issues, including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, by placing reporters on the ground to develop stories and investigate influences. The outlet produces documentaries spotlighting activists and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging while maintaining free access by avoiding paywalls and soliciting donations from those who can afford to support journalism. The fundraising enables reporters to interview multiple perspectives. Chloe Zhao's film Hamnet recreates the sensory experience of early Hamlet performances, frames the play amid plague-era losses, and conveys the emotional impact of limited staged scenes and the historical death of Shakespeare's son Hamnet.
