"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."
"The TV licence fee is set to rise to 180 a year from 1 April 2026, the UK government has announced, making it more expensive than most monthly subscriptions to Netflix and Disney+. An annual colour TV licence will rise by 5.50 from 174.50, a 3.15 per cent increase in line with the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation."
A news outlet covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates PAC finances and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and maintains free access without paywalls, relying on supporters who can afford to fund quality journalism. The UK TV licence fee will rise to £180 on 1 April 2026, with a colour licence increasing by £5.50 (3.15%) and a black-and-white licence rising by £2 to £60.50. The government says the hike will provide stable funding for the BBC and support the wider creative industries. The fee will increase in line with CPI through 2027, and the BBC is reportedly exploring using iPlayer to identify households that have not paid.
