Former New York Times editor-in-chief to launch 'annual' publication
Former editor-in-chief of The New York Times, Jill Abramson, will launch a publication that will develop a single topic for a year. With what frequency other materials will be released, Abramson did not specify.
According to her, she has already proposed her idea to investors and interested them. When the project will be launched and what it will be called is unknown.
“As usual, I see stories that no one has covered yet. They literally jump on me. [The new project] is like a trip back to the future for me.” (English)
- Jill Abramson was the first female editor-in-chief of the NYT in the entire 160-year history of the publication. Abramson was unexpectedly fired from his post as editor-in-chief of the NYT in May 2014, three years after his appointment. According to unconfirmed reports, she was unhappy that she was paid less than her predecessor. The publisher assured that there was no gender discrimination in the dismissal, but it was simply time to change the publication.
- Abramson's predecessor as NYT editor-in-chief, Bill Keller, is now also employed by the startup. He makes a publication about the courts and the prison system in the United States.
