NEW YORK (Reuters) - the New York Times named Jill Abramson as Executive Editor of his first wife, involving the control of a newspaper most respected worldwide as the industry struggles to keep advertisers and readers.
Abramson, 57, will lead the times press room, in a new era for documents when a generation of readers prefer more news from online sources such as Twitter, Facebook and a multitude of Web sites.
Currently Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper, Abramson will succeed Bill Keller, 62, who became a writer for the New York Times Magazine and newspaper opinion article from Sunday.
Assistant Editor and Washington Bureau Chief Dean Baquet will become editor-in-Chief.
The two appointments are entered into force on 6 September, the Commander of the New York Times, said Thursday.
It has was widely expected that Abramson and Baquet, 54, will increase in the ranks and that one of them would assume the highest post editorial in the journal.
In the spring of last year, Abramson left his post for five months working on the book digital strategy. The foreign editor of three publishers - bucket, Susan Chira and editor Larry Ingrassia business - take turns serving as editor in Chief in his absence.
As many newspapers, the New York Times tries to reverse a long decline in print advertising revenue, a piece of the base of his business. Total revenues fell by 3.6% to 566.5 million in the first quarter, mainly on the decline of 7.5% of revenue from print advertising. This reflects similar problems to other publishers of U.S. newspapers in recent years.
The company has introduced various ways to pay for stories and other content for nytimes.com to try to get readers to pay for its content.
Abramson has worked as an investigative journalist and covered Washington. She joined the times in 1997 by the Wall Street Journal, now owned by News Corp. Rupert Murdoch once, she became Chief of bureau in Washington in 2000.
When Abramson moved to New York in 2003 to take the role of managing editor, she has a tattoo a subway line of the city of token on his right shoulder, according to the New York magazine.
"I grew up here and I have hesitated (a way to show) I am a girl from New York back in New York,"she told the magazine in September 2010."."
Bucket joined the Times in March 2007, after having served as editor in Chief of the Los Angeles Times where he came to blows of management of the Tribune Co on budget cuts.
Bucket begins with time in 1990 as a metropolitan reporter. He won a Pulitzer Prize, most distinguished of the nation for the report log, while working at the Chicago Tribune.
Times Co Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said he accepted the decision Keller with "mixed emotions", and said Abramson was the best person to fill the role.
"Bill came to me several weeks ago and told me that he felt that the time has come for him to resign the role of the editor in Chief," Sulzberger said in a statement.
Keller was appointed editor in 2003 to replace Howell Raines, who was ousted during one of the biggest scandals ever to hit the press room - the discovery that reporter Jayson Blair was plagiarism and fabrication of stories.
"I wanted to go forward when the Newsroom felt secure and strong in its journalism to its future," Keller said in a statement.
