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.JJB Sports, the troubled sportswear chain, has unveiled a lucrative share bonus scheme that could net its chief executive and chairman more than £18m each over the next five years.
Under its new, five-year plan, four executives and some senior managers at JJB will get shares equal to 20 per cent of any rise in the company's market value beyond a set level.
The scheme is an attempt by JJB – which narrowly avoided administration in March 2011 – to incentivise management. The chief executive of JJB, Keith Jones, and its chairman, Mike McTighe, stand to gain the most and will receive 25 per cent each of the allocated shares, worth a maximum of £18.4m each.
