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.

From Mr Christopher Nightingale Sir: With regard to Jim White's open letter ("Dear Athena poster girl", 30 December) and subsequent letters (4 and 13 January), the Tennis Girl lives into the Nineties, although she may have changed her sport.

I was the art director responsible for the image, and I am in the process of producing Poster Girl 2000. The demise of Athena from our streets doesn't mean students and youngsters have stopped buying posters to adorn their walls. The image might have changed, but the need to display is still there.

Goodbye Fiona, welcome Naomi.

Yours faithfully, CHRSTOPHER NIGHTINGALE Bristol 17 January
