"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."
"King Charles' Sandringham Farms has been given the green light to build a slurry lagoon for fertiliser on the Royal Estate in Norfolk - despite concerns from nearby villagers. The reservoir will hold nearly 10,000 cubic metres of farm digestate - commonly made from animal and crop waste - and will sit near Prince William's Sandringham home, Anmer Hall. Its location on Icknield Way is also near the village of Flitcham, which forms part of the Royal Sandringham Estate, passed on to the king after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022."
"The village's parish council and locals had raised concerns about the plans at the consultation stage. There are concerns regarding safety issues and unpleasant odours affecting the village if the wind were blowing toward the village, wrote parish clerk Gill Welham on the slurry pit, which will be a 1.5-mile distance from the community."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The outlet emphasizes investigating financial and political stories and producing documentaries to illuminate contested issues, funded by supporters who can afford to contribute. Separately, Sandringham Farms obtained permission to construct a slurry lagoon holding nearly 10,000 cubic metres of farm digestate on the Royal Estate in Norfolk. The lagoon will be sited near Anmer Hall and close to Flitcham, prompting local concerns about safety and potential odours affecting the village.
