Letter: Armchair audience
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: As usual Alan Watkins has managed to cause a customary stir in his rugby column. In his opinion (11 March), most people see their rugby through the medium of television. I am sure, however, that these viewers would love to be at the Arms Park or Twickenham, etc, but for the scarcity of tickets.
I see the issue of television coverage being important only inasmuch as games can be seen on terrestrial channels. This would then ensure the widest possible audience and help to maintain and improve the current interest level in rugby union. I also wish Alan Watkins well on the trip he is apparently making to Twickenham this weekend. I, however, will be at Cardiff Arms Park, where I shall endeavour to sing Hen wlad fy nhadau for two in his absence.
