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.
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.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fox News Channel is targeting "superfans" with a subscription-based, Netflix-style streaming service called Fox Nation set to launch at the end of 2018.
According to Variety, the service will feature 'live exclusive daily streaming content and long-form programming available only to subscribers,' along with the daunting prospect of the entire Fox News archive spanning more than 20 years of coverage.
It is not yet clear whether prominent primetime hosts like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity will shoot content for Fox Nation.
Fox News shouldn't struggle to find subscribers given it has one of the most fiercely loyal viewerships on television.
"With our traditional cable viewership at an all-time high, we are proud to announce a new digital offering geared entirely toward the Fox News superfans, who represent the most loyal audience in cable, if not all of television,” said John Finley, the network’s senior vice president of development and production.
"This initiative will capitalize on providing that viewer, who is among the most affluent and well educated in cable, with a highly specialized content experience on a platform they can watch anytime, anywhere."
