I'm the 91Èȱ¬'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 91Èȱ¬'s finances for the first time, after weeks of negotiations between the Government and the 91Èȱ¬ Trust reports the 91Èȱ¬.

The the coalition government has pledged that the 91Èȱ¬'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 91Èȱ¬ on Wednesday, claiming he had not been paid for two months . The 91Èȱ¬ reports Mr Moyles as saying matter had been blown out of proportion by the media.

The the 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ had been too critical of the pontiff.

Feedback presenter Roger Bolton, who was a 91Èȱ¬ current affairs editor in the 1980s, has written to the 91Èȱ¬ in-house magazine Ariel rebuking Mark Thompson for saying the 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ newspaper review.
