Jill Abramson reveals that she lost a battle at the New York Times regarding "native advertising," which she believes compromises journalistic ethics by mimicking news content. She expresses regret to her readers for the confusion caused by "paid posts" and suggests her opposition to these commercial interests contributed to her firing.
