Letter: Independent judgement that is worth the price

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: Don't panic. Independence means more than just freedom from the control of powerful and partisan individuals. It means independence of judgement and of belief. Those whose judgement is counter to the trend, and who by believing in themselves have been able to sustain their judgement, have most often been vindicated.

We, your readers, believe in the Independent. We will, if necessary, pay three times as much for it as for the alternatives. We rely on your independence of judgement.

Yours faithfully,

K. WILSON
