ITV ditches Dimbleby's 'Sunday' interviews
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.Dimbleby has been interviewing senior political figures on Sunday lunch-times for a decade. His show is the successor to heavyweight interview-based programmes, including those presented by Brian Walden and Matthew Parris, dating back to the 1970s and made from London Television Centre.
Walden, who presented Weekend World, created the blueprint for the long-form television interview, telling his team to create a "tree-like" map showing the potential directions an interview could take and how answers could be headed off.
