Talk of the Trade: Into the breach
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.THERE may be good reasons for the changes, but the BBC has been accused of moving too fast for its audiences, and failing to explain its policies. Into this breach steps Pamela Taylor, formerly head of public relations for the British Medical Association, who has been appointed Director of Corporate Affairs. Ms Taylor, 43, is expected to take a leading role in the battle with the Government over renewal of the BBC's Charter in 1996. Widely respected in NHS circles as a formidable lobbyist on medical matters - from smoking to seatbelts - she is well placed to take on the task of persuading and cajoling MPs to her cause. She cut her teeth in the media world with a brief spell in advertising after leaving school. A lifelong Leeds United supporter and wine buff, she is thought to have turned down a number of PR job offers, from the tobacco lobby and National Power, among others.
