"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."
"The French Senate has voted in favour of a new cruise ship tax for international visitors. This new measure would require cruise ship passengers to pay 15 (13) per person for every port call in France, contributing to an estimated 75m in annual revenue earmarked for the conservation of coastal areas. Senator Jean-Marc Delia from the right-wing Republicans party tabled the measure citing the seven million tonnes of CO2 emitted by cruise ships in Europe every year, reports The Local."
The Independent deploys reporters to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating topics and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and seeks donations to continue sending journalists to speak to both sides. The Independent positions itself as trusted across the political spectrum and chooses not to use paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid by those who can afford it. Separately, the French Senate voted for a cruise ship tax requiring passengers to pay 15 (13) per person per port call, projected to raise 75m annually for coastal conservation. Senator Jean-Marc Delia cited seven million tonnes of CO2 emitted by cruise ships in Europe each year. The Macron government opposed the measure, and the Assemblee nationale and the overall 2026 budget must still approve it; currently only the Senate supports the tax.
