The New York Times is currently undertaking a major news investigation, led by managing editor Jill Abramson, into News Corp.’s business dealings throughout the world, according to a source with knowledge of the project.

But, as she told The Observer in an e-mail on May 26, executive editor Bill Keller has kept her quite busy.
