Letter: The BBC World view
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: Kate Adie is quite right about the vital role played by BBC World in her message to the new BBC Director-General (29 June). But there is another point which may interest him.
I was employed for most of the quarter-century until six months ago as the economics correspondent of the BBC World Service. When "World" came along, I found that there were many important people in the world of global economics who had no interest in appearing on, say, Newsnight. But they would put up with the laborious process of set-piece TV interviews as long as the result appeared on BBC World.
This service provides a valuable hook for the rest of BBC News and Current Affairs.
