The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating matters such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations support on-the-ground journalists who interview both sides and enable free access to reporting without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. In Haiti, eight people held after an Aug. 3 attack on the Saint-Helene orphanage were freed, including Gena Heraty, director of a special needs program, and a three-year-old. Her family expressed profound relief and gratitude, and Ireland's deputy prime minister confirmed the release on X; Haitian authorities had not commented.
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.
An Irish missionary and a 3-year-old child are among eight people who have been freed in Haiti by kidnappers after being held for almost a month following an attack by gunmen on an orphanage, officials and relatives said Friday. Gena Heraty, who has worked in Haiti since 1993, is director of a special needs program for children and adults at the the Saint-Helene orphanage. We are relieved beyond words.
