A code of conduct

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.

With newspapers still facing a strong mood of public scepticism and hostility to press intrusion, we are today publishing the Press Complaints Commission code of conduct to which The Independent and Express, like other newspapers, are signatories. (See page 6.)

Many readers may be unaware of the code, at least in detail, and therefore unable to judge our actions against it. We reaffirm our commitment to its rules and to its spirit and promise readers that any rulings made by the PCC against us will be prominently reported on our news pages.
