"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."
"Anyone who watches or records live television on any channel, or streams programmes on BBC iPlayer, is legally required to hold a TV licence, which currently costs 174.50 a year. The corporation is responsible for collecting the fee and routinely sends targeted letters and emails to households it believes should be paying, but are not. Concessions exist for people aged 75 or over who receive Pension Credit, blind viewers, residents of qualifying care homes who are disabled or over 60, and businesses offering overnight accommodation."
Independent solicits donations to support on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations fund investigations into entities like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and productions such as the documentary 'The A Word', and enable journalists to interview multiple perspectives without paywalls. The BBC is exploring linking iPlayer account data to home addresses to identify households watching without a TV licence. A TV licence costs 174.50 a year and is required to watch or record live television or stream BBC iPlayer. TV Licensing collects the fee, sends targeted communications to suspected evaders, offers concessions for certain groups, and can fine non-payers up to 1,000. A TV Licensing spokesperson said the organisation looks at ways to improve fee collection and uses available data.
