"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."
"Human memory is notoriously fickle. It is prone to bias, hopelessly bound to emotional triggers, frequently just plain wrong, and we could all benefit from it being a bit more adequate all round.

The Independent sends journalists to cover issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates political financing, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet asserts trust across the political spectrum and maintains free access to reporting without paywalls, relying on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism.
