Letter: Unfair focus
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.I MUST challenge Geraldine Norman's assertion that while fine photographic prints are 'keenly collected by museums and galleries in America, the same does not go for London' ('The image takes on substance', Review, 10 April).
To compare London with the whole United States is invidious. Two of the most important collections of photography in this country are outside London. The National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, based in Bradford, is mandated to collect and conserve the nation's collection of photographs and photographic equipment. The other non-metropolitan collection is The Royal Photographic Society in Bath. Both place great importance on showing fine photography to the public and both have extensive galleries devoted solely to this purpose.
