Briefly

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech and deploys reporters to developing stories. The outlet investigates political funding and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting through donations, refuses paywalls, and relies on supporters who can afford to subsidize free access. Queen Elizabeth II privately favored remaining in the EU while expressing irritation at Brussels bureaucracy. She reportedly told a minister the country should not leave, saying 'It's better to stick with the devil you know,' and a palace insider framed the EU as part of the postwar settlement.
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.
