TELEVISION / Tabloid TV
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.Those tabloid TV 'scoops' in short: jailbirds supposedly rioted when prevented from seeing Catherine Zeta Jones in the Christmas edition of The Darling Buds of May; ITV spent pounds 29 million on Thames shows such as Minder, The Bill, Mr Bean, Count Duckula, in order to stop them going to the BBC; the BBC, however, won the Christmas ratings battle, not to mention the bulk of critical plaudits; reports abound that Jimmy Nail will be killed off at the end of the forthcoming new series of Spender; Coronation Street will kill off a major character in a car crash soon, leaving Vera Duckworth quite literally holding the baby; Only Fools and Horses is slated to return for a new run, despite previous reports of its demise; Robbie Coltrane became a father - Spencer (after Spencer Tracy) Coltrane weighted in at 8lb 4oz; and finally, David Coleman, Roy Castle, Kate Adie and Leslie Crowther all won awards in the New Year's Honours list, as did ITN reporter Paul Davies.
