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.Harry Miller, journalist: born 1937; married; died 27 December 1993.
DURING the last days of his life Harry Miller was visited by a number of football personalities, their deep concern an indication of the affection and respect in which he was held.
Miller was from the old school of popular sportswriting, one that called for accuracy and integrity, principles he unfailingly honoured throughout a successful career.
One of many fine reporters who graduated to Fleet Street from the Stratford Express in east London, Miller joined the Daily Mirror in the early 1960s when under Hugh Cudlipp's direction it achieved the highest standards in popular journalism. After a spell in the paper's Manchester office, Miller returned to London as a football writer, abiding by the belief that a story wasn't worth the candle if it could be deemed scurrilous or betrayed a trust.
The many contacts Miller made were invaluable to the Mail on Sunday, which he joined in 1986 and where he frequently broke out from the role of deputy sports editor to extend his reputation as a solid reporter. Sustained by his wife, Ina, and his friends and colleagues, Miller bore his illness with a fortitude that gained the admiration of everyone who knew him.
