Letter: Tales of the City
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.

Sir: I believe someone as knowledgeable as Richard Kurt about football literature - after all, he has regularly written about his favourite team Manchester United - should be aware that there are publications on at least two of the "neglected minnows" he mentions (letter, 6 January).
From Sandhall to the Shay (about Halifax Town) was published about a decade or so ago, while Manchester City has proved extremely popular in recent years. In fact, only a month or so ago an enormous volume entitled Manchester: The Greatest City by City fan Gary James was published.
If nothing else, James's history is proving more popular than any book on United in the north-west at the moment . . .
