Marty Baron on Trump, Bezos, and Journalism's Future


Listen Later

One of the main tenets of journalism is this: Don’t become the story. But that’s been difficult for Marty Baron, who, as editor of The Washington Post during the Trump years, often found himself at the center of the storm. Following his tenure at The Boston Globe, where he helped uncover rampant clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, Marty led the Post through a tumultuous time in American politics. While newspapers everywhere faced ever-tightening budgets, the Post was bought by billionaire Jeff Bezos, and its journalists were being publicly attacked by President Trump. The Globe’s Shirley Leung talks with Marty about holding powerful people to account, what he regrets most about his Post tenure, and the future of journalism. Marty’s new book is “Collision of Power.” Email us at [email protected].
