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.DERMOT McNulty, former chief executive of Shandwick International, is set to receive a package of more than pounds 2m from the PR firm despite presiding over a slump in the value of the group and being forced out of his job.
He received a pay-off of almost pounds 1.2m, according to the group's annual report published yesterday, and is also entitled to cash in share options which are currently worth more than pounds 400,000. The payment comes on top of Mr McNulty's total pay package of pounds 425,176 for the year to October.
Larry Kaplan, another director of Shandwick, received almost pounds 500,000 on leaving the group and can cash in options worth in excess of pounds 120,000.
He received pounds 195,895 last year including a bonus of pounds 22,320 relating to the performance of the group's North American division.
