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.Four New York Times journalists who were reported missing while covering the Libya conflict have been found, the newspaper said today.
The Times reported on its website that the four were captured by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi and will be released today.
The Times said his son, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, gave the information to Christiane Amanpour in an ABC News interview.
Libyan government officials told the United States State Department on Thursday evening that all four would be released.
They had last been in contact with editors on Tuesday from the northern port city of Ajdabiya where they were covering the retreat of rebels.
The journalists are Anthony Shadid, The Times's Beirut bureau chief and a two-time Pulitzer-prize winning foreign correspondent; two photographers, Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario, who have extensive experience in war zones; and a reporter and videographer, Stephen Farrell, who in 2009 was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan and was rescued by British commandos.
