"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."
The Independent appeals for donations to fund on-the-ground reporting of issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and to produce documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes accessibility by avoiding paywalls and asking those who can afford it to support quality journalism. Almost 500 firms were fined by the Department for Business and Trade for failing to pay some staff the national minimum or living wage between 2018 and 2023. Around 42,000 workers have been repaid, with EG Group underpaying the most and companies facing a combined 10.2 million in fines.
