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 trade association that represents Britain's struggling cable industry will today announce the appointment of a new chief executive, Bob Frost, who will oversee an aggressive pounds 12m marketing campaign, writes Mathew Horsman.
Mr Frost, formerly chief executive of the National Federation of Retail Newsagents and a one-time cable executive, will take up his new job at the Cable Communications Association in March. He replaces Richard Woolham, who left in December. Mr Frost said yesterday that his first task will be to advise on the industry's new generic campaign to encourage the growth of cable's subscriber base. The marketing effort follows several months of disappointing results from the main cable operators, which has depressed stock market prices of the three quoted companies.
