The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating subjects like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and maintains free access to reporting and analysis by avoiding paywalls, relying on support from those who can afford to contribute. Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope was invited to join Strictly Come Dancing after Kristian Nairn withdrew for medical reasons; Cope described receiving a late call while walking down Oxford Street and said the surprise accelerated his excitement and focus on impressing judge Shirley Ballas.
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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Announcing his participation on BBC One's The One Show later that day, Cope said the programme had got in contact on Monday asking if he wanted to join this year's series. The actor, who plays Nicky Milligan in the soap, said he was walking down Oxford Street on his way to meet a friend when he received the phone call.
