Literary festival to debate reality 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.The Independent Woodstock Literary Festival opens tomorrow, and we are giving readers the chance to attend, and take part in, one of the keynote events of the festival.
The Independent Live! debate on Thursday evening will discuss the proposition 'Has reality TV debased modern culture?' and panellists will be Dom Joly and Alex James, both of whom have appeared on reality programmes, together with Independent columnists Tracey MacLeod and Johann Hari.
The event will be chaired by Penny Smith, the GMTV presenter, and takes place at the Marlborough School, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, this Thursday at 7pm. Admission is free, but space is limited so booking is essential at www.woodstockliteraryfestival.com. And if you want to submit a question for the panel, please email your suggestion to l.smith@independent.co.uk.
