Kevin Towers admires the work of Guardian journalists and Brian Edwards was recommended the paper in 1955 and has read it ever since. Also, Ian Ferguson got the newspaper’s name wrong in an interview but still used it to his advantage ‘Thank you to all the journalists who put truth and justice before personal reward.’ Photograph: Linda Nylind/The Guardian ‘Thank you to all the journalists who put truth and justice before personal reward.’ Photograph: Linda Nylind/The Guardian Letters Sun 9 May 2021 11.45 EDT Last modified on Sun 9 May 2021 23.37 EDT During a weekend that saw voters shifting to the right, it was fitting for the Guardian to recall its triumphs against corruption and complacency (The 200 moments that made the Guardian, 7 May). The term “Guardian reader” has become a derogatory jibe aimed at those who want to challenge inequalities and stereotypes. As a lifelong subscriber, I feel proud to have been informed and educated by journalists of the highest calibre, with the most altruistic of motives. If allowed to choose just one of your 200 moments that made me smile, it was the downfall of Jonathan Aitken, whose attempt to undermine your investigative campaign backfired. Thank you to all the journalists who put truth and justice before personal reward.
