Letter: Unfair to snap Cherie off guard
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.I've been trying to rationalise your use on the front page of a photograph of an exhausted Cherie Blair (4 May). I'm sure that it was your intention to show the human side of success. Given your sensitive coverage of Princess Diana's treatment at the hands of press photographers, it couldn't possibly be the case that you intended to depict Mrs Blair as vulnerable, nor try to show that this able woman does not have control over her life. Could it? I shall watch with interest.
