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.It seems amazing, but Radio 1 FM seems to have done something right at last. The station has made an appoint-ment that might just help it claim back some of the millions of listeners it has lost in the last year. Who is he, this new DJ? Well the h e is actually a she, and while she may not be a household name here, to tens of millions of young Europeans she's an idol. Her name is Lisa I'Anson, star of MTV.
The half-Ghanaian, half-English Londoner takes over the prestigious lunch-time show at 1 FM (12noon-2pm) and if past form is anything to go by, she'll take it in her stride. Five years ago, she got her first break presenting a magazine style show on the newly formed, trendy Kiss FM. Before long, though, her morning chat with DJ Steve Jackson was the highlight of the whole station's ratings. "She has a tremendous sense of humour and, of course, that laugh," Jackson remembers fondly. The rich
husky voice and the trademark laugh served her well, and soon little Kiss FM was just too small. She was off, first as voice-over queen for Rapido and Dance Energy and then onto the actual screen as a video jock (VJ) on MTV. With a deep musical educationand an easy wit, Lisa should prove a breath of fresh air at Fab FM. Time for a little fame at home.
