LETTER: And finally...
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.LETTER:
And finally...
Sir: Would somebody please explain to me why moving a television news programme, however worthy, from one part of the evening to another constitutes something approaching a national crisis?
I have read the agonisings over the move of News at Ten with growing incomprehension. Now I read in your leader of 6 March that "the ending of News at Ten ... is a real threat not only to our cultural life but to our democratic citizenship". Does that mean that I will not be able to vote in the next election, or that moving the news will result in Britain becoming a totalitarian regime? Or could it be that the media have become obsessed with their own importance?
