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.F

Sir: The essential drift of James enton's article ("Cheap, small and perfectly formed", 31 July) seems to be suggesting that the Penguin 60s' format should only be used as a sampler for literature.
Surely it would be more innovative and better for the written word, were publishing companies to put new writing out in this format. Poetry, for so long caught between expensive covers, could in this way become more truly popular, in much the same way as "Poetry on the Underground" has found new audiences and tax brackets.
In this way, poet, publisher and punter would benefit equally. May it happen soon.
Yours sincerely,
