Letter: In Brief
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: Your separate sports section every Monday prompts me to write. Why are the sports pages dominated by men? Where are all the sportswomen? I scan the photos on the sports pages every day and 99 per cent of the time it is men who are featured.
A recent article highlighted the fact that girls give up sport very quickly at school ("Sport for girls `not feminine enough' ", 18 March); is it any wonder? If women were given equal space on the sports pages this would create role models and make the active woman the norm.
