"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."
"Local mayors will be allowed to impose a tourist tax on overnight stays, the government has announced as part of an attempt to put more money into England's cities and regions. Mayors will be given the power to levy a modest charge on visitors staying in hotels, bed and breakfasts, guest houses and holiday lets. Officials said the measure would bring English cities into line with other tourist destinations around the world, including New York, Paris and Milan, which already charge a similar levy."
Journalists are sent to cover developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, supported by donations so reporting remains accessible without paywalls. Donations fund field reporting, financial investigations and documentaries that spotlight issues such as American women fighting for reproductive rights. Local mayors in England will be allowed to impose a modest tourist tax on overnight stays in hotels, bed and breakfasts, guest houses and holiday lets to raise funds for cities and regions. Officials say the levy aligns English cities with global destinations like New York, Paris and Milan. The change comes ahead of a Budget expected to include tax rises to close a large fiscal gap, and ministers say proceeds will fund local priorities, a move welcomed by mayors including Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham.
