"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."
"When Maxine Southwell arrived home from holiday, she walked into her back garden and burst into tears. She, her husband Ian and their children have lived in their family home in Tyldesley, Wigan, for 18 years. They said they bought the house, which backed onto a field, partly because of the view. But that view no longer exists. In its place are four hulking warehouses, under construction as part of logistic firm PLP's controversial Astley Business Park development."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigates financial links such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting, resists paywalls, and asks for donations to fund journalists who can present multiple perspectives. In Tyldesley, Wigan, the Southwell family returned from holiday to find their field view replaced by four 60-foot warehouses under construction as part of PLP's Astley Business Park. Wigan Council granted planning permission in 2024, prompting local anger and the formation of Astley Warehouse Action.
