If you have any questions or comments about any of our newsletters please email newsletters@theguardian.com

I hope you appreciated this newsletter. Before you move on, I wanted to ask if you would consider supporting the Guardian’s journalism during one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes. As a reader-funded organisation, we need your help.

In the heat of a tumultuous presidential race, there is an urgent need for free, trustworthy journalism that foregrounds the stakes of this election for the whole world.

Yet from Elon Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest – not profit motives.

Largely because of this independence, we are able to avoid the trap that befalls much of the media in the United States: the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. The way we see it, our job is to be truly fair, which means listening to different points of view, but also calling out the lies of powerful people and institutions – and making clear how misinformation and demagoguery can damage democracy.

From threats to election integrity, to the spiralling climate crisis, to complex foreign conflicts, our journalists contextualise, investigate and illuminate the critical stories of our time. As a global news organisation with a robust US reporting staff, we’re able to provide a fresh perspective on news from America.

Around the world, readers can access the Guardian’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not.

If you can, please consider supporting us with just £1, or better yet, support us every month with a little more. Thank you.
