"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're looking at a huge transition. First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers. I don't know. DiCaprio ponders whether people still have the appetite for movie theaters, or if cinemas will become silos like jazz bars? I just hope enough people who are real visionaries get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema, he added."
On-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech requires funding to continue sending reporters to gather facts and present both sides. Investigations can include financial examinations of political action committees and documentary projects that highlight women fighting for reproductive rights. Free public access to reporting and analysis can be maintained by soliciting donations rather than charging paywalls. The cinema exhibition model is undergoing rapid change, with documentaries largely leaving cinemas and dramas receiving short theatrical windows before streaming. This shift raises questions about future audience appetite for theaters and the availability of opportunities for visionary filmmakers to present work on the big screen.
