Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

CAPTAIN MOONLIGHT'S man at the BBC is quoted as saying that the audience for News 24 is sometimes as low as 1,000 (Culture, 6 December). The BBC's own research shows 750,000 people watch the service on cable each week and 3 million on terrestrial TV. The overnight average is 120,000. No figures exist for minute-by-minute viewing of the service and any contrary suggestion is fiction.
