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.

Everton have already applied for a work permit. 'It is out of our hands. All we can do now is wait,' Mike Walker, the manager, said.
Paul Stewart, on loan to Wolves, is hoping his chances of a permanent move to the First Division club are not ruined after spraining ankle ligaments in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Tranmere.
Gary Bull, the Nottingham Forest striker, has joined Birmingham City on a month's loan and is included in the squad for tonight's game at Rotherham.
Elsewhere the biggest week in the history of European club football gets underway with Milan, the European Cup holders, in serious trouble. Because of injury and suspension they are without 10 members of their first team squad for tomorrow's Group D match against Ajax in Amsterdam.
Absenteeism hits them in all departments and among those they will be without are French defender Marcel Desailly, central defender Alessandro Costacurta, midfielders Stefano Eranio and Demetrio Albertini, and strikers Daniele Massaro and Marco Simone.
Barcelona, runners-up to Milan in last year's final, will also be considerably below strength for their match against the Turkish side Galatasaray.
