T-wrecked': Barney ad banned for encouraging underage drinking'
"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."
"The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that while the ad was designed to be humorous, it encouraged excessive drinking and was likely to appeal to under-18s. In its response, MOJO, run by Voodoo Doll Ltd, denied any wrongdoing. The company argued that its audience on Meta was restricted to adults and that the image of Barney would resonate with those who grew up watching the 1980s and 1990s children's programme."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters on the ground covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The outlet cites investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights as examples. The Independent emphasizes the need to parse facts from messaging and to present both sides of stories. The outlet states that it is trusted across the political spectrum and refuses to use paywalls. The publication asserts that quality journalism should be accessible to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. Donations enable continued on-the-ground reporting.
