The Independent highlights its commitment to real-time journalism on significant topics like reproductive rights and climate issues, striving to present balanced perspectives. Through grassroots funding, they aim to maintain accessibility to their reporting amid a landscape with many paywalled news sources. Additionally, they cover controversies related to public figures like the Speaker of the House of Commons, who has faced scrutiny for accepting numerous gifts during financially challenging times, especially in light of his lavish spending on travel, raising ethical questions about politicians' accountability.
"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 Speaker of the House of Commons has kept nearly 300 gifts, including skincare sets, presents for his pets and dozens of bottles of alcohol, over the last four years."
