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: Richard Guise (letter, 10 July) suggests that people acquire their morality simply by observation and experience. Of whom? Their peers? In the early 1960s, pupils complained to me that they felt under constant pressure from the media to the effect that unless they engaged in pre- marital sex they were missing out. It was after all, so the media advised, what their peers were up to. Apart from the first of the Ten Commandments, which of the others would Richard Guise dispense with?
