Don't tell me where you were when Diana died, Earl Spencer says

"I tell you what I do find quite difficult it probably sounds ungracious but occasionally total strangers come up and feel they must tell me where they were when she died. I'm sure that's helpful to them, it's not entirely helpful to everyone else."

The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, sending reporters to developing stories and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet keeps reporting accessible by avoiding paywalls and requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism, arguing that quality journalism should be paid for by those who can afford it.
