Arthur Sulzberger, chairman of the New York Times Co., praised Jill Abramson yesterday as a fighter for freedom of the press, a week after dismissing her as the newspaper’s top editor.
“Jill Abramson is a powerful and outspoken advocate for freedom,” Sulzberger said, lauding her for challenging the Obama administration’s restrictions on the press. “I will always admire Jill’s commitment to this issue and her many contributions to the Times.”
