"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."
"A quarter of teenagers in the UK have turned to AI chatbots for mental health support in the last year, new research has revealed. A study of 11,000 children aged 13 to 16 in England and Wales has found more than half of teenagers have used some form online mental health support in the last year, with 25 per cent having used AI chatbots."
The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, offering free access to reporting and relying on donations rather than paywalls. A Youth Endowment Fund study of 11,000 children aged 13 to 16 in England and Wales found more than half of teenagers used some form of online mental-health support in the past year, and 25% used AI chatbots. Young people affected by serious violence were more likely to use chatbots, with 38% of victims and 44% of perpetrators reporting chatbot use. YEF noted chatbots can appeal because they offer anonymous, anytime access, and a youth advisory board member warned that AI can be frightening for those in crisis.
