"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."
"Society shifted in 2006. Jack Dorsey launched Twitter with ambitions for the platform to be nothing more than a lighthearted microblog. Facebook opened to the public for the first time. YouTube exploded and was bought up by Google for a billion dollars. In many ways, 2006 is considered to be the last normal year before culture transferred online. Viral moments were shared by everyone rather than by personalised algorithms, music charts really mattered,"
The Independent requests donations to keep reporters on the ground covering issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word', focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent asserts trust across the political spectrum and maintains free access to reporting by avoiding paywalls, relying on donations from readers who can afford it. The text identifies 2006 as a cultural turning point when social platforms and algorithmic distribution began reshaping viral moments and media consumption, and it recalls watching High School Musical on Sky TV as an example of pre-algorithm collective viewing.
