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.

Your support makes all the difference.Six months after appearing at the Leveson Inquiry, Lionel Barber, editor of the “Financial Times”, is due to be questioned at a very different hearing this afternoon when he will publicly defend his actions at an employment tribunal.
Steve Lodge is claiming unfair dismissal after being sacked from his job as a money writer at the FT after four and a half years for allegedly threatening a colleague. Barber's role in the affair will come under scrutiny after the National Union of Journalists chapel at the Pink Un claimed the sacking "cast grave doubts" over the paper's disciplinary procedures.
