Profile

Now two years on the job as executive editor, Abramson sets the editorial agenda at the nation's newspaper of record. This year her staff won four Pulitzer Prizes but the paper couldn't compete with the U.K.'s Guardian for exclusives from whistleblower Edward Snowden: "They have published far more material than we have, that those articles are very much in the public interest and inform the public."
