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.If Nick Hornby has made so much money out of Fever Pitch that he doesn't know what to do, I suggest he sponsors a prize for exciting play at Highbury ("Ge-nius for the average", 23 March). He'll probably never have to pay out but it's worth a go.

Unless the other parties take part in the Major/Blair debate, it is likely they will be in total agreement and this will be the most boring TV ever seen.

David Walker says Classic FM is having problems with its listener numbers ("Surviving the Third degree", Review, 23 March). On the contrary. Classic FM is expanding across Britain and is the fastest-growing music station in London. Weekly reach and market share have risen, as have total listening hours year-on-year - in London by 15 per cent.

The TV interview where John Nott walked out is included in my book of interviews "... But with respect" (Ian Jack, 23 March). It was not done "during the Falklands War". It took place at the Conservative Party Conference of 1982 when the policies of defence secretary Nott were under attack and the subject of critical resolutions. Also, there was nothing Paxmanite about the interview, as Ian Jack implies.

A global economy creates extraordinary coincidences. In Japan it is reported that "one man was forced to write the same report every fortnight" ("Japan's workers aren't sacked, they're driven to suicide", 23 March) There is a chap in Britain in exactly the same situation. Perhaps Sir Gordon Downey should get in touch with his Japanese counterpart and compare notes.
