The Independent highlights deployments of reporters across US issues, investigative work on topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and a documentary focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet requests donations to sustain reporters on the ground, emphasizes access without paywalls, and seeks funding from those who can afford it. Britain's leading heritage organisations, including the National Trust, Tate, Historic Royal Palaces and Victoria & Albert Museum, urge the government to close a loophole in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act. The DMCCA's two-week cooling-off period could enable members to use charity perks then cancel for full refunds, threatening vital revenue streams.
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.
Heads of organisations including the National Trust, Tate, Historic Royal Palaces and Victoria & Albert Museum wrote to the government to highlight how the new rules could allow people to abuse their membership schemes. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA) will allow consumers a two-week cooling off period after purchasing a charity membership scheme. This means they could obtain the membership, use its perks to enjoy paid-exhibitions or visits for free, before cancelling and getting a full refund days later.
