Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker has pledged to ensure the independence of The Telegraph newspaper as his Abu Dhabi-backed company emerges as the leading contender to acquire the media company. The bid includes a push into the U.S. market if successful. Zucker has faced opposition from rival bidders, conservative ministers, regulators, and some of the paper's own journalists. He has offered guarantees to the UK government and vowed editorial independence for The Telegraph if the bid is successful.
