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.QPR's new owner Tony Fernandes has continued his shake up of the Loftus Road hierarchy by appointing Philip Beard as the club's new chief executive officer.
Fernandes completed his takeover of QPR last Thursday and immediately confirmed the return of Amit Bhatia as vice-chairman.
The Malaysian today announced another new arrival at Loftus Road, with Beard, who was part of the successful London 2012 Olympics bid, joining the club.
Fernandes told qpr.co.uk: "Philip brings a long history of success in the sports industry with him to QPR.
"His track record in leading teams and achieving commercial success is exemplary and I am delighted to have him on board."
Beard, who has also worked at American sports and entertainment company AEG, added: "I am utterly thrilled to be joining QPR in this hugely exciting chapter in the club's history.
"I will be focusing on helping it become the very best club it can be, both on and off the pitch.
"I want to ensure the best possible experience for the people who support us day in and day out - our loyal supporters."
