"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,"
"Accounts of Zohran Mamdani's campaign for New York City mayor have highlighted both his online presence and his ground game. Mamdani won the general election with 50.4% of the vote, a larger share than was predicted by most polls, and his get-out-the-vote campaign has received some of the credit. Mamdani claims that his campaign had over 100,000 volunteers knocking on doors across New York City. This focus on on-the-ground mobilization stands out given the increasing attention devoted to online campaigning over the past 15 years."
The Independent reports on major issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and investigative financial reporting. The Independent produces documentaries like 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights and relies on donations to fund reporters while avoiding paywalls. Zohran Mamdani combined online presence with a claimed ground game of over 100,000 volunteers and won with 50.4% of the vote, with his get-out-the-vote effort receiving credit. Online platforms and targeted advertising have become central to campaigns, yet empirical evidence finds few effects of in-person canvassing except in specific circumstances, and one recent paper indicates candidate-led canvassing can matter in some cases.
