BBC not institutionally antisemitic', editor says after row over Gaza coverage
Briefly

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, prioritizing on-the-ground reporting funded by donations while avoiding paywalls. The outlet investigates entities such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A newspaper editor stated the BBC is not institutionally antisemitic while warning that perceived political influence over the broadcaster is problematic and that it should be beyond politicians' reach. The BBC faced criticism for breaching accuracy guidelines and livestreaming Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance, which included chants calling for death to the IDF, prompting calls for accountability.
