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: With reference to Marianne Macdonald's "Coup de theatre ... " (4 March), Steven Berkoff's quotes were taken from his letter to The Times Literary Supplement (31 May 1996), responding to Paul Bailey's review of his autobiography Free Association, and not directed at a theatre critic. Although he has not been approached about contributing to the theatrical swap, we are sure Steven Berkoff would wish the new directors, Nicholas de Jongh, Michael Billington, Jeremy Kingston and James Christopher, well in their tricky endeavours.
