Letter: Unjust attack on young paper

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.

JASON NISSE's report 'Tabloid price war cripples Today' (18 July) was wildly inaccurate.

Mr Nisse quoted 'industry sources' claiming that Today had been the major victim of the tabloid price war. He had no evidence to support his claim and it is simply untrue. Our circulation remains steady. We dropped only half a per cent on the week in question, less than both the Daily Mail and the Daily Star.

I am sorry that a reporter on the Independent on Sunday, of all publications, would write a piece that could damage a young newspaper trying, with some recent success, to establish itself in a fierce market.

Richard Stott,

Editor, Today
