"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."
"The UK has granted approval for a vast new Chinese embassy in London, a decision made despite significant national security warnings from intelligence bodies. MI5 acknowledged the inherent challenges, stating that while "it is not realistic to expect to be able, wholly, to eliminate each and every potential risk," a "package of mitigations deals acceptably with a wide range of sensitive national security issues"."

The Independent relies on donations and avoids paywalls to fund on-the-ground journalism covering such national and international issues.
