"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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference."
"Cate Blanchett said the #MeToo movement got killed very quickly in Hollywood, speaking Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival. In a wide-ranging staged conversation, Blanchett lamented that the tide of #MeToo has been turned in Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality. It got killed very quickly, which I think is interesting, said Blanchett. There are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say this has happened to me."
"Why does that get shut down? In 2018, when she was president of the jury in Cannes, Blanchett took part in a red-carpet protest. She and 81 other women appeared on the steps of the Palais des Festivals, symbolically representing the number of female director who were selected for Cannes' competition lineup. Over the same period, 1,866 male directors had been selected. I'm still on film sets and I do the headcount every day. There's 10 women and there's 75 men every morning, Blanchett said."
The Independent describes its coverage priorities across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, emphasizing on-the-ground reporting as stories develop. It highlights investigative work into the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC and documentary production focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet says donations fund journalists who speak to multiple sides and that it is trusted across the political spectrum. It also states that reporting and analysis are not locked behind paywalls, arguing that quality journalism should be available to everyone. Cate Blanchett comments at Cannes that the #MeToo movement was turned back quickly in Hollywood, noting that people with platforms can speak more safely while ordinary women face shutdowns. She also cites Cannes gender imbalance, describing daily headcounts on film sets and the disparity between women and men.
