Letter: Good news: why the media should record achievements as well as failures

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: Thank you, Martyn Lewis, for your idea of good news. Yes please, I should like to hear more stories of courage, hard work, excellence and wisdom. Perhaps if these values were more widely acclaimed and applauded, there would be a greater awareness of working for a positive and peaceful world.

Yours sincerely,

MARY THORNTON
