| I feel bad about that, Baquet told POLITICO in a recent interview. The newsroom doesn t need to see one of its leaders have a tantrum.
The episode electrified the newsroom, and details of what staffers described as the altercation Baquet called it a disagreement spread to other Times bureaus. But once the story had made the rounds, it wasn t Baquet the staffers were griping about. It was Abramson.
In recent months, Abramson has become a source of widespread frustration and anxiety within the Times newsroom. More than a dozen current and former members of the editorial staff, all of whom spoke to POLITICO on the condition of anonymity, described her as stubborn and condescending, saying they found her difficult to work with. If Baquet had burst out of the office in a huff, many said, it was likely because Abramson had been unreasonable.
Every editor has a story about how she s blown up in a meeting, one reporter said. Jill can be impossible, said another staffer.
Just a year and a half into her tenure as executive editor, Abramson is already on the verge of losing the support of the newsroom. Staffers commend her skills and <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/>Hermes Birkin Handbags</a> her experience but question whether she has the temperament to lead the paper. At times, they say, her attitude toward editors and reporters leaves everyone feeling demoralized; on other occasions, she can seem disengaged or uncaring.
Baquet, who spoke positively of Abramson and of their relationship, acknowledged these frustrations but didn t lend them much credence.
I think there s a really easy caricature that some people have bought into, of the bitchy woman character and the guy who is sort of calmer, he said. That, I think, is a little bit of an unfair <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-bangle/747-silver-hermes-bracelet-logo-printed.html>Silver Hermes Bracelet Logo Printed</a> caricature.
Caricature or portrait, such feelings are starting to drain morale in a newsroom that is already anxious about the changing nature of the media industry and scarred by the recent round of buyouts, which saw the departure or reassignment of many high-level editors. To add insult to injury, Abramson has been notably absent or <a href=http://www.chloepascher.com>sac chloe</a> AWOL, as several staffers put it at key periods when the Times required leadership.
The Times is leaderless right now, one staffer said. Jill is very, very unpopular.
Abramson declined to talk to POLITICO for this article. In an email, <a href=http://www.alexanderwangoutlets.com>Alexander Wang Outlets</a> Times spokesperson Eileen Murphy said Abramson was deeply engaged as executive editor and described her as the voice of the newsroom in continued conversations regarding the Times s global and digital evolution.
Murphy also explained that, in addition to visiting Times bureaus, Abramson is sometimes required to travel to represent the newsroom in important business decisions and also as an ambassador of The <a href=http://www.onlinehermesoutlet.com/hermes-birkin-30cm/424-hermes-birkin-bag-red-golden.html>Hermes Birkin Bag Red Golden</a> Times to industry gatherings, much like previous editors before her. Abramson s unique status as the first female editor of The Times means she gets even more of these opportunities, Murphy wrote.
