The Independent: Reporting on Key Issues

Reporters from The Independent are on the ground when the big stories break – from reproductive rights and climate change to the power of Big Tech.

That can mean digging into the finances behind Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC. It can mean producing documentaries like The A Word, following American women fighting to protect reproductive rights. It always means cutting through the noise to get to what actually matters.

This is a volatile moment in US history. That’s why we send journalists out to talk to people on every side of the argument, not just the loudest voices online.

Readers across the political spectrum trust The Independent. Unlike many outlets, we don’t hide our reporting behind paywalls for those who can’t afford them. We think serious journalism should be open to everyone, funded by those who are able to support it.

That support is what keeps our reporters in the field and our investigations alive.
