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.GMTV ratings have hit a new low, falling to 1.3 million. The smallest quarter-hour peak audience since the show started at the beginning of the year, it is also the first time that GMTV has been matched by The Big Breakfast's peak audience. Both shows, however, have probably been hit by the holiday season: only two months ago, GMTV recorded an audience of 2 million while The Big Breakfast had a regular audience of 1.5 million during the spring.
Linford Christie's much-hyped run against Carl Lewis in Gateshead was watched by 10.73 million, the second, in Zurich, by 9.44 million. Figures for his Stuttgart win are not yet available.
All figures for week ending 8 August
