Marty Baron, Executive Editor, The Washington Post (Code Media 2017)
from Recode Replay Hosted by Recode
The Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Walt Mossberg about how the Post has been covering the Trump administration, including recent reports that triggered the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Baron says that in the Trump era, political journalism must be less "access-driven," and reporters should shine a light on the upheaval in Washington, D.C. He responds to White House claims that the press is the "opposition party," discusses when the Post would use the word "lie" and explains how the paper's owner, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, has helped shape its digital strategy.
