Anthony Bevins to rejoin `Independent'
Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Anthony Bevins, the award-winning political journalist, is to leave the Observer to rejoin the Independent as political editor.
Mr Bevins ran the Independent's original political team when the paper was launched in 1986. Before that he was chief political correspondent of the Times.
Donald Macintyre, our present political editor, has been appointed chief political commentator. Mr Macintyre was labour editor of the Independent at launch and then political editor and columnist for the Independent on Sunday. He will be writing a twice-weekly column in his new role. Andrew Marr, the editor designate, will also continue to write regularly in the newspaper. Last night, Mr Marr said: "The return of Tony Bevins and the elevation of Don Macintyre give us the finest political team, bar none, as we prepare for the most important general election campaign for many years."
