Bunhill: PR at Yorkshire Water
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.YORKSHIRE WATER seems to be marred by disastrous public relations. Last week, it apologised for telling customers that parts of the county were suffering from the driest period since August 1951 (it forgot about the summer of 1976.)
Meanwhile, the regional press is full of stories of disgruntled customers. The latest, Diane Washbourne, of Yeadon, West Yorkshire, complains of 'dirty, smelly, undrinkable water'. She moans: 'You have to chew it'.
All the more pressing, then, that a suitable candidate is found to fill the post of media relations manager. As yet the company hasn't had to advertise the vacancy; details of it were leaked to the local press - via an internal memo.
