"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."

"One of the things that really struck me about that case was that some of those young people had been missing for 20 years or more and no one was looking for them, no one had even noticed that they'd gone.
