The
New York Times is starting to make good on its promise
to develop a low-priced news product. Six months after having completed
staff cuts, Times executive editor Jill Abramson announced new
products and leadership shuffles to boost the paper's digital footprint.
Abramson
had already shaken things up back in January, elevating Larry Ingrassia and Ian
Fisher to assistant managing editors to focus on digital, among other changes.
With mobile traffic now accounting for nearly half the Times' Web traffic, she
said today's moves would position the paper to capitalize on that trend.
