On The Ground is The Independent's new international dispatches newsletter (The Independent)

The world is changing at a rapid pace, and understanding the impact of these shifts on the lives of people around the globe is more important than ever.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of On The Ground, The Independent's new international dispatches newsletter, set to bring you firsthand insights from some of the most pivotal events of our time.

Led by our world affairs editor, Sam Kiley and chief international correspondent, Bel Trew, On The Ground offers an in-depth look at the crises and conflicts shaping the world today.

From the war-torn regions of Ukraine and Syria to the geopolitical tensions in Israel and Lebanon, the weekly newsletter focuses on the stories that matter most – those of the individuals whose lives are directly affected by these seismic global events.

Each week, you’ll receive a curated mix of exclusive reportage, documentaries, video interviews, analysis, and data from our dedicated team of international correspondents.

On The Ground will take you behind the headlines, shining a light on the human side of the world's most significant conflicts, natural disasters, and political upheavals.
