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.

Sir: The Fellows of Rewley House, Oxford, may be a little precipitate in changing the name of their institution to 'Kellogg College' (Letters, 4 July).

The name of cereal magnate, W. K. Kellogg and his quirky brother, Dr J. H. Kellogg, may shortly be on everyone's lips with the release of Alan Parker's comic film, The Road to Wellville, based on T. Coraghessan Boyle's novel and starring Anthony Hopkins as the good doctor. The film has already created a stir in Battle Creek, Michigan, (the Kellogg company's birthplace, in the year of its 70th corporate anniversary) with the eccentric antics of the two brothers.

Perhaps there is still time for the dons to rethink their proposed name-change if future generations of Oxford undergaduates are not to be seen chuckling and choking over their cornflakes at breakfast in Hall.

Yours faithfully,

C. W. BLUBBERHOUSE
