"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Care leavers across the UK will no longer be required to pay application fees for university or college, Ucas has confirmed. It is a significant step aimed at bridging the persistent gap in higher education access for this demographic. The admissions body announced that those who have experienced the care system and are applying to begin their studies in autumn 2027 will see the current 28.95 fee waived."
The Independent asks for donations to fund reporters who cover developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free from paywalls. The outlet cites investigative work into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and sending journalists to speak to both sides of stories. Ucas will remove the current £28.95 application fee for care leavers applying to start university or college in autumn 2027. The fee waiver aims to reduce barriers and improve higher education access for care-experienced young people.
