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.Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and the director of marketing for the social network, is leaving to start her own company, Facebook said Wednesday.
"We can confirm Randi has decided to leave Facebook to start her own company," a Facebook spokesman said. "We are all grateful for her important service."
Technology blog All Things Digital said Zuckerberg was leaving to start a "new media firm to help companies become more social" called "RtoZ Media."
In her resignation letter, obtained by All Things Digital, she said she has spent the past six years at Facebook "innovating and pushing the media industry forward by introducing new concepts.
"We have made incredible progress, but there is still much to be done and other ways I can affect change," she continued.
"Now is the perfect time for me to move outside of Facebook to build a company focused on the exciting trends underway in the media industry."
Zuckerberg said Facebook will "clearly be a central element in all of my projects" and that she would "continue to be a strong, vocal evangelist for the most incredible social platform ever created."
Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg while he was a student at Harvard University. Membership of the social network recently topped 750 million.
