Letter: Trailer aggro
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.WHEN Rosanna de Lisle (''This one will run and run'', Review, 20 November) says about trailers that ''the BBC shies away from this sort of aggressive marketing'', she clearly does not spend much time in Wales.
Here we are subjected to the constant repetition of attention-grabbing advertisements at every ''junction'' on both BBC channels. These trailers (usually for rugby matches or late-night discussion programmes with Vincent Cane) come crashing in - without the slightest attention to ''targeting''.
