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.ROSANNA de Lisle's article ('MPs ready to demand cut in price of CDs', 25 April) was flawed. You failed to point out that Brian McLaughlin of HMV had said that CD prices had had no noticeable effect on customers' desire for CDs.
You failed to comment on public money being spent sending a Select Committee to New York to compare prices. When are you going to start attacking the Net Book Agreement? You also failed to mention that the last time CD prices were substantially reduced W H Smith didn't pass on the reduction to customers.
When are you going to understand the economics of the music business?
