"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."
"The earliest known evidence of human fire-making has been discovered in the UK dating back over 400,000, in a new groundbreaking discovery. Fire-cracked flint, hand axes and heated sediments have been found at a disused clay pit near Barnham, Suffolk, pushing the timeline back 350,000 years from the previous record of 50,000 years ago in northern France. Crucially, two fragments of iron pyrite a spark-striking mineral were also found at the site, which is located between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while relying on donations instead of paywalls to fund journalists. The outlet highlights investigative projects, including scrutiny of political financing and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights, and stresses the importance of sourcing both sides of stories. Archaeological finds at a disused clay pit near Barnham, Suffolk include fire-cracked flint, hand axes, heated sediments and two iron pyrite fragments, pushing evidence of human-controlled fire in the UK to over 400,000 years ago. Geochemical tests indicate repeated, controlled fire use and pyrite rarity suggests deliberate transport for spark production.
