"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."

And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

"A bank customer who claimed he has a phobia of materials related to Pride has lost a case against NatWest in which he alleged a display in one of its branches caused him severe psychological distress. Mark Jennings said he saw some material that promoted LGBT+ issues when he went to his regular branch of the bank in Herne Bay, Kent, on 16 August."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, producing work including the documentary 'The A Word' and choosing not to use paywalls. The outlet asks readers to support journalism financially so reporters can cover evolving stories and verify facts. Separately, Mark Jennings alleged that Pride-related materials at a NatWest branch in Herne Bay on 16 August aggravated multiple diagnosed mental health conditions and sought reasonable adjustments; his request was rejected and he subsequently lost a legal claim alleging severe psychological distress and breach of the Equality Act 2010. The case referenced his diagnoses and his Catholic faith as factors in the complaint.
