The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, funded by reader donations to keep content paywall-free. The outlet cites examples including investigation of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A survey by online car retailer Cazoo found 62% of 18- to 24-year-olds experience 'refuel anxiety', compared with 39% overall among 2,000 respondents. Young drivers fear parking near pumps, choosing the correct fuel, operating nozzles, hygiene and queues; many ask others to fill up to avoid anxiety.
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.
Outside of concerns over sky-high fuel prices, young drivers reported fears over parking close enough to the pump, identifying the correct type of fuel, or competently operating the petrol nozzle. Researchers said the stem of the worries related to fear of making a mistake in public. More than two-thirds of respondents also said they had asked a partner, family member or friend to fill up for them to avoid feeling anxious.
