"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. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum."
"Problematic screen use is when kids can't control their time online, even if they try, and it starts to cause stress, conflicts, or problems at school or home. It can also lead to withdrawal-like feelings, needing more time online to feel satisfied, and repeated relapses, much like other addictive behaviours. Our findings suggest that digital platforms and families alike should consider ways to reduce addictive features of apps and social media, since these patterns of use are modifiable and can affect adolescent mental health."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and funds on-the-ground reporting through donations while avoiding paywalls. The outlet emphasizes making quality journalism accessible to everyone and relies on reader support to send journalists to speak to diverse perspectives. A new study links adolescent increases in screen time to higher risks of mental health issues, suicidal behaviours, and sleep problems. Problematic screen use involves loss of control, stress, conflicts, withdrawal-like feelings, tolerance, and relapses. The study recommends that digital platforms and families reduce addictive app and social media features to protect adolescent mental health.
