Letter: BBC consultation

Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: While there are many statements with which we would take issue in your leader ("Auntie seems to have forgotten her public duties", 19 September), let us be clear on one point of fact.

The BBC's plans for new services in the digital age, including a 24-hour news service, were first set out 18 months ago and were the subject of large-scale public consultation earlier this year.

This process, which was announced to our listeners and viewers on our own airwaves, produced a significant majority in support of our proposals, including 24-hour news.
