Pundits applauded when The New York Times announced last week that managing editor Jill Abramson will succeed Bill Keller as executive editor of the paper this September, not only because of her sold investigative background and the fact that she will become the paper's first female editor, but also because she is seen as a competent leader in the digital space.
This is a bit ironic, given that Abramson was not active on Twitter at the time of her appointment. We can now report that her first tweet appeared Thursday, and she's sent five tweets since then -- including an amusing correction to Felix Salmon of Reuters.
Welcome to the party, Ms. Abramson.
