Media: Talk of the Trade: Two-horse race
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 BBC is secretive about exactly when it will be broadcasting its souped-up racing serial Trainer this autumn; but at last week's press outing to Newbury races to launch it, the word was that at least the first few of the 10 instalments would go out on Wednesdays opposite repeats of the ITV hit The Darling Buds of May. This will make it hard to achieve viewing figures higher than last season's 8 million. Trainer needs at least 10 million to justify continuing for a third year, but Gerard Glaister, the producer, is confident. He must hope that his judgement on such matters is better than his racing tips, which proved distinctly unprofitable for the journalists and actors who joined him at the course.
