The Washington Post and the Future of Newspapers in America: A Conversation With Marty Baron

In February The Washington Post laid off nearly 30 percent of its workforce, including more than 300 journalists, and shuttered or significantly downsized entire sections of the paper. The recent effort to reshape The Washington Post is not only a devastating blow to the city, but a sad reflection of what's happening to journalism and journalists in America. The rationale of fabulously wealthy media owners who allow politics to influence what and how their papers report and editorialize may be part of the problem. But surely the industry-wide economic challenges and cultural shifts in how Americans get and process their news presents challenges even for elite papers.    What happened to the once storied Post and why? What does the future of the paper look like under its current leadership? And what does the closure of multiple global offices and firing of foreign policy journalists say about the importance of global affairs to the American public? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Marty Baron, Pulitzer Prize winner and former executive editor of The Washington Post, to discuss the Post's recent changes and the future of the newspaper business and journalism in America, on the next Carnegie Connects.
