Bill Keller Abandons 'NYT Magazine' Column

The column was a regular target of criticism

New York Times’ executive editor Bill Keller will end his New York Times Magazine front-of-the-book column in September, reports WWD.

Keller is planning to hand over the reins as executive editor to Jill Abramson in September and will become a full-time writer and op-ed columnist at the paper. He said that it was his idea to stop writing his Times Magazine column six months after he began writing it, which was a major feature of the magazine’s relaunch headed by editor Hugo Lindgren.
