"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech while relying on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting without paywalls. The outlet investigates bodies like Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Britain's senior police officer countered critics promoting selective narratives after homicides in London fell to 97 in 2025, an 11% decrease from 2024 and the lowest since 2014. Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley cited improved serious violent crime figures and criticised false online claims, and Mayor Sadiq Khan rejected portrayals of a lawless London.
