The lone woman standing between Mayor Rob Ford and the media is quitting her job to become a member of the press herself.
Adrienne Batra announced Tuesday that she's resigning as the mayor's press secretary to become the Comment Editor at the Toronto Sun.
She also shared plans to become a "frequent contributor" on talk radio channel Newstalk1010 as a Municipal Affairs Correspondent.
"I want to thank Mayor Ford and all of my colleagues for such a unique experience at City Hall," said Batra in an emailed statement. "It has been a real privilege to work in the Office of the Mayor."
Batra has held her position since Ford's election win in 2010.
She's handled the notoriously media-resistant Ford during a maelstrom of public attention during tense budget talks, marathon meetings and frustrating labour disputes.
"Adrienne has been a vital part of our Administration and I want to thank her for her dedication," Mayor Ford said in a statement.
