... as `Wisden' takes new guard
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.Wisden, the most venerable name in cricket, is moving in with the publisher of the scatological humour magazine Viz, Fortean Times, the almanac of the weird, and the Spice Girls Magazine, writes Paul McCann.
John Brown Publishing, which made its money from appealing to male humour long before Loaded appeared, has signed a deal to handle the printing, marketing and sales for Wisden Cricket Monthly, which is owned by John Paul Getty II.
It means that Wisden will move from a shabby ground-floor flat in Guildford to a fashionable converted warehouse next to the River Cafe in west London.
The move comes at the end of a year-long effort to revamp the ailing magazine which has been limping along with sales of 20,000 copies a month. It is now even experimenting with such modern ideas as giveaway posters of the England team, a fantasy cricket game and a Wisden web site on the Internet.
