In "Changing Times, Jill Abramson takes charge of the Gray Lady," Ken Auletta calls Abramson "fierce" and "resilient."
"Once, it was preposterous to think that a woman could become the editor of the Times...Four decades ago, women and minorities were second-class citizens at the paper. According to Nan Robertson’s book “The Girls in the Balcony: Women, Men, and the New York Times,” only forty of the Times’ four hundred and twenty-five reporters were women, and this included not a single national correspondent. There were no female photographers, columnists, or editorial-board members. Not a single black journalist rose above the position of reporter."
Abramson was on Charlie Rose last night, discussing her role at the Times as well as her latest project: a book about puppies titled:
The Puppy Diaries. [Review
