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.

Sir: "Revealed at last: the images someone did not want you to see" (3 December) refers to an official cover-up of the sinking of HMS Thetis.

By my recollection this is hardly correct. In 1939 I was 12 yet can remember vividly the newspaper reports of the tragedy, which happened during the early trials of the submarine off the east coast of Anglesey. The photograph you publish shows clearly the same or a similar image to the one I remember, which was widely published at the time.
