The historic designs featured on new Royal Mail stamps
"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."
"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."
"Royal Mail has unveiled a new collection of stamps, paying homage to some of the most celebrated designs in British postal history, including the Penny Black. This groundbreaking stamp, first issued in 1840, was revolutionary as the world's inaugural adhesive postage stamp. The new series also commemorates other classic issues, such as the Penny Red, Penny Lilac, and the 4d "Jubilee" from 1887."
A national news outlet requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations are said to support sending journalists to speak to both sides while keeping reporting free and accessible by avoiding paywalls. The outlet emphasizes trust across the political spectrum and asserts that quality journalism should be available to everyone and be paid for by those who can afford it. Royal Mail unveiled a commemorative stamp collection reviving eight celebrated Victorian designs, including the Penny Black, Twopenny Blue, Penny Red, Penny Lilac and the 4d Jubilee, with reverse watermarks echoing original anti-forgery measures.
