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.Sly Bailey, the former chief executive of Trinity Mirror, walked away with nearly £2.3m from the newspaper publisher last year after an investor revolt and a 90 per cent slump in the share price.
The annual report showed her “compensation for loss of office” was £1.8m.
MsBailey, pictured, received a “compensatory payout” of £896,000, from June 2012 until May 2013.
She also pocketed £911,000 from long-term share options.
During the earlier part of 2012, before her resignation, Ms Bailey got a further £459,000 in salary and benefits.
Her successor, Simon Fox, earns a base salary of £500,000 – one third less than Ms Bailey – after the group’s chairman, David Grigson, responded to anger from hard-pressed Trinity shareholders.
The report thanked Ms Bailey but said nothing about the former Daily Mirror editor Richard Wallace and his Sunday Mirror counterpart Tina Weaver, who were ousted last May. Ms Weaver was arrested in connection with phone-hacking last month but not charged.
