Obituary: Lord Bernstein
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.MAY I make a small correction to Sir Denis Forman's appreciative tribute to his former chief Lord Bernstein which followed Anthony Howard's full and perceptive obituary (6 February)? writes Leonard Miall.
Granada television under Sidney Bernstein's inspired leadership did indeed pioneer many praiseworthy developments in the coverage of political events but it was not the first to take television cameras to a party conference. A current affairs team from BBC Television Talks Department covered the Conservative Party conference - Sir Winston Churchill's last - which began at Blackpool on 7 October 1954. Granada television did not start transmitting until 3 May 1956.
