LETTER : Best on the links
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.From Mr John V Heyes
Sir: I am sad to learn that Peter Hobday is to play a reduced role in presenting the Today programme (report, 26 February). I have always enjoyed his bluff, no-nonsense style, along with his total lack of pomposity. Like the great Jack de Manio, he also has a fine sense of humour.
His "links" have often enlivened a dull weekday morning. My favourite Hobdayism followed an item on the decimation of the rainforests. His link was "talking of deforestation, let's take a look at the papers".
Yours faithfully,
John Heyes
