I'm the Âé¶¹Éç's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

The National Audit Office will be able to fully examine the Âé¶¹Éç's finances for the first time, after weeks of negotiations between the Government and the Âé¶¹Éç Trust reports the Âé¶¹Éç.

The the coalition government has pledged that the Âé¶¹Éç's editorial independence will not be harmed by giving the National Audit Office carte blanche to investigate the corporation's books.

Radio One breakfast show DJ Chris Moyles launched an on-air tirade against the Âé¶¹Éç on Wednesday, claiming he had not been paid for two months . The Âé¶¹Éç reports Mr Moyles as saying matter had been blown out of proportion by the media.

The the Âé¶¹Éç has defended its coverage of the Papal visit after more than 750 complaints from viewers. More than half were from people who thought there was too much coverage of the visit, or that it was too favourable to Pope Benedict XVI. But others complained that the Âé¶¹Éç had been too critical of the pontiff.

Feedback presenter Roger Bolton, who was a Âé¶¹Éç current affairs editor in the 1980s, has written to the Âé¶¹Éç in-house magazine Ariel rebuking Mark Thompson for saying the Âé¶¹Éç had a "massive left-wing bias" thirty years ago, .

The continuing difficulties surrounding the build up to next month's Commonwealth Games in Delhi make the headlines in a number of papers as shown in the Âé¶¹Éç newspaper review.
