Ousted New York Times Editor Abramson Pitches Journalism Startup
Posted in: Uncategorized
Jill Abramson, the former New York Times Co. executive editor ousted in May, is looking to get back into journalism, this time with a startup.
Ms. Abramson said at an event Monday night that she’s seeking funding for a business she would lead along with Steven Brill, the journalist and author who founded Court TV and the American Lawyer.
“We’re talking to some investors who are sounding very interested and we are going to do great stories,” Ms. Abramson said at the event in Boston hosted by radio station WBUR. “We’re talking about doing a discrete number of great pieces and I would be involved in recruiting the writers, in helping edit and conceptualize the stories.”
