"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Hold on tight, warns Stephen Bath as he slowly notches up the throttle on his blue and white speedboat to send us gliding across the calm waters of Christchurch Harbour. It's a cold, misty January morning, but quickly into view comes the postcard image of dozens of colourful wooden beach huts perched on the beachy headland. Such a high-speed marine arrival for a news job may seem unorthodox."
"At Mudeford Sandbank, where huts sized from just 150 sq ft go on the market for up to 575,000, nothing is quite ordinary. Unlike other UK coastal spots with beach huts, here, on the Dorset coast, at the edge of the sprawling Bournemouth Bay, the isolation and surrounding water views create a remote village-like community. 344 beach huts line the stretch of sand at Mudeford Sands, which is at the opening to Christchurch Harbour, with Mudeford Quay at the other side of the entrance (Stephen Bath)"
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations allow continued deployment of journalists to report both sides and maintain paywall-free access, funded by those who can afford it. In a local feature, a speedboat arrival at Mudeford Sandbank reveals a remote, village-like community of 344 beach huts on Christchurch Harbour. Huts range from 150 sq ft to market prices up to 575,000 and vary from rotting timber to luxury units with solar panels and new roofs.
