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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Well done Alex Thomson. Channel 4's newshound spent most of yesterday afternoon chasing down former-Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie over his infamous "The Truth" front page following the Hillsborough disaster.
It seems MacKenzie, now a professionally irate pundit, hasn't been too keen to chat, so the tenacious Thomson door-stepped him at home. First at his front door and then again as he tried to slip away in a Mercedes.
"Please Alex, this isn't reasonable," pleaded MacKenzie. Not content with his story for the evening news, the door-stepping scourge took to Twitter to berate MacKenzie some more. Thomson followers were split on whether he was a crusading hack in search of justice or a petty attention-seeker.
Either way, it made great telly.
