New York: In an abrupt move, the New York Times has sacked its first female executive editor Jill Abramson and named paper’s managing editor Dean Baquet in her place, making him the first African-American to hold the post.

The change of leadership was announced by publisher of the paper and chairman of The New York Times Company Arthur Sulzberger, who told a “stunned newsroom” that he had made the decision because of “an issue with management in the newsroom.”

Abramson, 60, had been in the job only since September 2011.

The editorial upheaval comes in a crucial year for The Times, which had to shed assets like The Boston Globe and About.com. (Agencies)
