Letter: Perceptions of a new look
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: Congratulations on your 2,000th issue. Congratulations, too, on the new style.
You don't need me to tell you that newspapers develop habits in their readers who come to depend on the permanence of the layout and positioning of regular features and columns. Effecting changes to this order can cause irritation and frustration similar to that experienced in supermarkets when the managers decide to rearrange their shelves or present their goods differently. Yet today's new look to the Independent serves only to delight. The Plantin typeface is a huge success, as is the better-value leader page.
Here's to more of the same, for many years to come.
Yours faithfully,
