"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Your support makes all the difference. A 17-year-old girl who says she has been exposed to harrowing content such as beheading videos, footage of a young child shooting another and porn has joined a legal action against the government. Flossie McShea, 17, is among those adding their support to two fathers' claim for a judicial review, which seeks to have smartphones completely banned in schools."
"She said she has joined as a claimant because she feels the Department for Education (DfE) has failed to protect her and other children from harms inflicted by phones during the school day. Will Orr-Ewing and Pete Montgomery, both parents of school-age children, wrote to education secretary Bridget Phillipson in July to say they intended to challenge a mandatory school phone ban not being included in safeguarding guidance for schools."
The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, funded by donations so reporting remains free of paywalls. The outlet highlights investigative work, including examining Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations are framed as enabling journalists to present both sides of stories. Separately, a 17-year-old, Flossie McShea, has joined a legal action claiming exposure to harrowing online content in schools and supporting two fathers' judicial review seeking a total smartphone ban in schools to strengthen safeguarding.
