Letter: Baffled by the Net
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 a somewhat older reader of The Independent, I never saw myself as one of society's dispossessed until recently when I discovered what it is like to be marginalised. The very great increase of Internet/computer advertising in the publication being directed at those who have "logged on" prompts me to raise the question as to whether the unwashed, computer- illiterate minority of your readers could claim a special reduction in the price by supplying proof of ownership of a fountain pen and the ability to use it.
