"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."
"At about 3pm, mobile phones connected to 4G and 5G networks will emit a distinctive siren sound and vibrate for up to 10 seconds. Users will receive a message confirming the alert is a drill. This is the second test of the system. The first was in 2023. The government has previously deployed the system five times for genuine warnings, including during January's Storm Eowyn, to alert residents in Scotland and Northern Ireland to severe weather conditions."
The Independent deploys on-the-ground reporters to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent maintains paywall-free access and seeks donations to fund reporting, asserting trust across the political spectrum and relying on support from readers who can afford to pay. In the UK, a nationwide emergency mobile-alert test will sound around 3pm on Sunday, with phones on 4G and 5G emitting a siren and vibrating; the test follows a 2023 trial and past real alerts for storms, flooding, and an unexploded WWII bomb.
