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.One of Britain's biggest commercial radio bosses today appeared to rule out hiring Chris Moyles if he leaves Radio 1 - as he would not fit his station's "strategy".
Ashley Tabor, who runs commercial giant Global Radio, also denied holding talks with breakfast show host Moyles.
Speaking at the Radio Festival in Salford today, Tabor - a former flatmate of Moyles - said: "I want to put that one to bed."
Radio 2's Chris Evans last week said Moyles should leave the BBC and move to the commercial sector following suggestions he may move to Global-owned Capital, which is to go national.
Interest in Moyles - who has a one-year contract with Radio 1 - has intensified after an extraordinary on-air rant in which he complained that he had not been paid.
The station's controller Andy Parfitt said later he had discussed the outburst with Moyles but he was not reprimanded as he was satisfied he had not gone too far with his comments.
MediaGuardian reported today that Tabor said: "We haven't had any conversations with Chris about joining us.
"If you look at what we did with Heart - Emma Bunton and Jason Donovan, they are people who have not done radio before and we are bringing them into the sector. That is more our strategy at Global."
