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: It is ironic that on the day that you printed a report about Channel
4 axing the Trial and Error programme (16 July), the first case that they
involved themselves in, the conviction of Mary Druhan, was overturned
in the Court of Appeal.
As junior counsel in the appeal, I would like to make clear that it was
the investigative journalism undertaken by the Trial and Error team that
uncovered the evidence that was so crucial in the success of Mary Druhan's
appeal. Their efforts have clearly played a pivotal role in many cases
and it is very disappointing that Channel 4 have decided to take this
course.
