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.The first radio and television handyman was my father, W. P. Matthew, writes Philip Matthew [further to the obituary of Barry Bucknell by Anthony Hayward, 22 February]. He began on radio in the 1930s, his first television programme was scheduled for 3 September 1939, and he was regularly and often on BBC TV from 1946 to 1955. He moved to ITV when it started in September 1955, and it was only after his death in March 1956 that Barry Bucknell came on the scene.
