I'm the Â鶹Éç'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 Â鶹Éç's finances for the first time, after weeks of negotiations between the Government and the Â鶹Éç Trust reports the Â鶹Éç.

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

The the Â鶹Éç 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 Â鶹Éç had been too critical of the pontiff.

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