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.MARSHALL Stuart, the man behind Central Independent Television's successful pounds 2,000 a year bid to retain its ITV franchise, is leaving the group's board to set up his own communications consultancy, writes Jason Nisse.
However Mr Stuart, who was director of corporate strategy, will still work for Central.
He is the second member of Central's board to leave this year, following Kevin Betts, the group finance director, who resigned in February. He was replaced by Kazia Kantor just two weeks ago.
A former editor of the Today programme, Mr Stuart was head of information at the BBC before joining Central in 1982. His role has included governmental lobbying and he headed the Licence Campaign Team that was so successful for Central.
Leslie Hill, Central's chairman, said: 'We will miss Marshall greatly. However, I understand his wish to move at this time.'
