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: So the National Film Theatre has promised an amnesty to people who may have illegally recorded classic lost TV programmes (report, 8 October). I hope the NFT isn't holding its breath waiting for all those recalcitrant hoarders and collectors to start queuing at its doors, eager to hand over their treasures to the nation.
I cannot help thinking that those who valued these programmes at a time when the BBC clearly did not and who now need to be coaxed to share their spoils should be offered not an amnesty, but a reward.
