Jill Abramson revealed to students at Wake Forest University that she will not be removing the New York Times "T" tattoo on her back.
After being dismissed as the executive editor of the New York Times five days ago, Jill Abramson dropped by Wake Forest University and delivered a commencement speech on "resilience," according to the LA Times.
The first female editor of the New York Times told 1,800 Wake Forest graduates and about three dozen media members, "You know the sting of losing. When that happens, show what you are made of."
Abramson stated that "losing a job you love hurts," but that, despite this huge change, she's "a little scared, and a little excited."
Although she doesn't know what her future plans are, Jill Abramson expressed to the Wake Forest students that she has no regrets whatsoever.
"It was the honor of my life to lead the newsroom," she stated.
Despite the ongoing news reports regarding Jill Abramson's dismissal, there was one person that very openly didn't know anything about this.
During an interview at the Peabody Awards, "This American Life" host Ira Glass reportedly admitted that he doesn't know who Jill Abramson is and, despite his love for the New York Times, doesn't care how they put it together, according to the Daily Intelligencer.
When the interviewer stated that Jill Abramson was fired, Glass stated, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
When it was revealed who Abramson was, Glass admitted, "I read the newspaper, but I live in my own little bubble."
After realizing that he may be the only person in New York who has yet to hear about the "big, unceremonious firing," Ira Glass stated, "Well, I take that with pride."
He added, "Honestly, like, I'm a superfan of the New York Times, but I know nothing about how they put it together and I really don't care."
