The Independent is actively engaged in reporting critical issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Investigations into influential figures, like Elon Musk, and documentaries focus on urgent social topics. The importance of trained journalists on the ground is emphasized, ensuring unbiased coverage. National resilience against crises is highlighted, with suggestions to learn from Scandinavian practices of preparedness. There are concerns about the effectiveness of digital alerts during emergencies, necessitating an inclusive public information campaign for better preparedness.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.
Ministers have been urged to learn about crisis planning from our Scandinavian neighbours, where authorities have handed out pamphlets about preparing for war and emergencies.
In a real emergency, digital alerts will miss millions of people who do not have access to a phone.
The Cabinet Office minister spoke to MPs after the Government unveiled plans for a national drill later this September when mobile phones will ring out with an alarm during an emergency alert system test.
