Veel aandacht in de Nederlandse media over de zorgen om de persvrijheid in de Verenigde Staten. RTL en de NOS schreven een artikel over de toenemende druk op de persvrijheid en in de Volkskrant was een groot interview te vinden met de oud-hoofdredacteur van de Washington Post, Martin Baron, die ook waarschuwt voor de zorgwekkende ontwikkelingen rond de media in het Amerika onder Trump. Wendelmoet Boersema, hoofdredacteur van Trouw, vindt het een zorgelijke ontwikkeling en ziet raakvlakken met de eerste termijn van president Poetin in Rusland. "Hij versterkte toen zijn greep op de pers en deed dat via zijn band met de zakenwereld." Trump zegt juist dat zijn regering de meest transparante sinds tijde is en daar heeft hij volgens Marieke de Vries, voormalig NOS-correspondent VS, ook wel een punt. "Hij ruimt veel persmomenten in en is heel toegankelijk voor de pers." Dit doet hij meer dan de vorige president Biden. Die had natuurlijk wel te maken met de coronapandemie, maar ook toen de maatregelen minder werden was er volgens De Vries nog steeds maar een kleine groep aan Amerikaanse journalisten aanwezig in het Witte Huis. "Internationale journalisten zoals de NOS zijn er nauwelijks meer binnengekomen." Dat kan volgens de oud-correspondent nu wel weer. Het Amerikaanse persbureau Associated Press zijn overigens nog steeds niet welkom in de buurt van de president. Daar proberen collega journalisten wel een vuist tegen te maken, maar dat doen ze volgens De Vries niet door zelf ook weg te blijven bij persmomenten. "Wegblijven is geen optie." 

Martin Baron led two of the world's most important newsrooms, those of The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. He was at the former when the newspaper exposed the network of cover-ups of pedophile Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Boston. At the latter, he was present during the Edward Snowden leaks about the National Security Agency (NSA)'s spying activities and during Trump's first presidency, marked by the Republican's confrontational stance toward the media. Now, enjoying the retirement he has embraced for a few years, he analyzes the global landscape, the threats to freedom of expression, and the role of the media in the digital age.

Miljardêr Jeff Bezos, die eienaar van The Washington Post, het opdrag gegee dat die koerant se meningsafdeling sal elke dag ter ondersteuning en verdediging van persoonlike vryhede en vrye markte skryf - wat blykbaar die publikasie met die Amerikaanse politiek in lyn bring. Die opdrag oorheers die Amerikaanse nuustoneel en die voormalige uitvoerende redakteur van die Post, Martin Baron, sê hy is gewalg daardeur.

Entrevista con Martin Baron, ex director del Washington Post, que este año ha publicado 'Frente al poder. Trump, Bezos y el Washington Post', editado en España por La Esfera de los Libros. Una mirada profunda para comprender el deterioro de la democracia, el papel de la prensa y los equilibrios de poder.

‘The Washington Post', al igual que otros medios estadounidenses, rompió con la tradición de publicar un editorial respaldando una candidatura presidencial a once días de las elecciones. Conversamos con el periodista Martin Baron, exdirector también de ‘The Boston Globe', sobre cómo esta decisión mina la democracia y la confianza de los lectores en los medios en un momento en el que la posibilidad de que Donald Trump vuelva a gobernar puede suponer un retroceso en materia de derechos.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Yesterday, just before noon, The Washington Post, through CEO William Lewis, announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, the first time the nation's third-largest daily newspaper by circulation hasn't done so in nearly four decades.The announcement was shocking for two immediate reasons.The most grave—and, frankly, terrifying—reason is that the United States is obviously at threat of sliding into a horrific dictatorship from which it's difficult to see how we'd ever recover. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have made it abundantly clear that they aspire to devolve our nation into the world's most powerful authoritarian regime. One need look no further than the chilling plans outlined in Project 2025.But there are many other warning signs, too. A small sampling:There's Trump openly praising Hitler's generals, according to his former chief-of-staff John Kelly (himself a retired four-star Marine Corps general), just the latest marker of fascist narcissism in Trump's very long and documented history of being obsessed with dictators.There's Trump repeatedly pledging to carry out the largest deportation of undocumented migrants in American history, a sweat-lipped plan made in blustering tones that somehow manages to exceed its inherent cruelty with an inexplicable failure to understand basic economics.(Not only is it logistically impossible to deport our nation's 11 million undocumented migrants, not only would it cost taxpayers an estimated quarter trillion to do so, but the American economy would completely collapse from the loss in labor force.)There's Trump's flagrant disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law: an indictment that resulted in a guilty verdict on 34 felony counts (his sentencing for that is on Nov. 26th), three other pending indictments on 52 more felony counts, two impeachments, being found liable for defamation of a woman he raped, etc.Oh, and, of course, there's Trump's frequent statements to serve past the constitutional limit of two terms as president (I'm sure he's just kidding), and the extremist conservative majority of the Supreme Court ruling last year that Trump is essentially a king beyond accountability for official acts in office.That's all an abbreviated version of why Donald Trump is obviously unfit.The second reason is The Washington Post's abdication of journalistic integrity under the ownership of Jeff Bezos, a development that is especially chilling for a publication that has long prided itself on being the vanguard for American democracy and free speech.The storied newspaper has won 76 Pulitzer Prizes over its history—second only to The New York Times—one of which was for the investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that eventually led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. Another was for the reporting on the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.The Washington Post has long been synonymous with the essential role of the free press in a healthy, functioning democracy in the same manner we associate Babe Ruth with baseball or July Fourth with fireworks or Dolly Parton with a clean soul.And so, it was with great confusion and incredulity that I read Mr. Lewis' painfully shameless attempt to justify the decision. He sure did try to put on a powdered wig and insist that the bowl of s**t he wanted to feed to the American public was actually chicken soup for the American soul.Most curiously, in writing about The Washington Post's history of largely declining to endorse presidential candidates prior to 1976, he stated that year's endorsement for then-Gov. Jimmy Carter was made “for understandable reasons at the time…”Did you catch that? He's obliquely referencing Watergate, the scandal that brought down Nixon with reporting by the paper — Nixon, who, by any measurable standard, comes across like Lincoln when compared to Trump.Mr. Lewis, for some odd reason, thought it persuasive to essentially say: “Look, we don't regret endorsing Carter because Nixon was terrible, but also: Trump is not nearly terrible enough to justify continuing this dangerous practice of presidential endorsements.”Furthermore, aside from the dollar store cheap imitation of logic, he failed to mention in his desperate, sorry excuse for rationalizing that The Washington Post, for the past several weeks, had been drafting an approved endorsement for Vice President Harris.He failed to mention that the endorsement was still on track a week ago, and there was no indication that it would be halted for any reason, let alone on the rather cringe-inducing reasoning he put forward in his announcement.He failed to mention that Trump met today with corporate leaders of aerospace company Blue Origin—also owned by Bezos—which is, at best, godawful timing or a pretty clear signal of Bezos' reasoning in killing the endorsement. Maybe both.Probably both.If none of this makes sense, you're far from alone. It completely failed to persuade the staff and alums of The Washington Post. Conservative columnist and editor-at-large Robert Kagan immediately resigned in protest. Sixteen other Washington Post columnists—Perry Bacon Jr., Matt Bai, Max Boot, E.J. Dionne Jr., Lee Hockstader, David Ignatius, Heather Long, Ruth Marcus, Dana Milbank, Alexandra Petri, Catherine Rampell, Eugene Robinson, Jennifer Rubin, Karen Tumulty, and Erik Wemple—published this statement on the paper's website:The Washington Post's decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love. This is a moment for the institution to be making clear its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances, and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them — the precise points The Post made in endorsing Trump's opponents in 2016 and 2020. There is no contradiction between The Post's important role as an independent newspaper and its practice of making political endorsements, both as a matter of guidance to readers and as a statement of core beliefs. That has never been more true than in the current campaign. An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn't the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.Mr. Woodward and Mr. Bernstein issued this statement:We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 12 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos's ownership, the Washington Post's news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process.Retired WaPo executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper from 2012 thru 2021, including the tumultuous years of Trump's presidency, responded with a scathing statement: “This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. Donald Trump will see this as invitation to further intimidate owner Jeff Bezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”The Washington Post Guild—the paper's employee union—had this to say:We are deeply concerned that The Washington Post—an American news institution in the nation's capital—would make the decision to no longer endorse presidential candidates, especially a mere 11 days ahead of an immensely consequential election. The role of an Editorial Board is to do just this: to share opinion on the news impacting our society and culture and endorse candidates to help guide readers.The message from our chief executive, Will Lewis—not from the Editorial Board itself—makes us concerned that management interfered with the work of our members in Editorial. According to our own reporters and Guild members, an endorsement for Harris was already drafted, and the decision to not publish was made by The Post's owner, Jeff Bezos. We are already seeing cancellations from once loyal readers. This decision undercuts the work of our members at a time when we should be building our readers' trust, not losing it.Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes published this jarring work on the paper's website, titling it “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” referencing WaPo's official slogan that was introduced in 2017, just a month after Trump took office.As of 7:30pm yesterday, Semafor's Max Tani reported that at least 2,000 subscriptions to the paper had been canceled in the previous 24 hours, the overwhelming bulk of those likely being in the seven-and-a-half hours following the announcement from Mr. Lewis. Numerous public figures—including Stephen King, Mark Hamill, Jon Cryer, and former Congresswoman Marie Newman—publicly announced they were cancelling their own subscriptions.Last night, I made the same decision. I had heard rumblings early in the morning from friends in media that WaPo was about to announce a non-endorsement, credible enough that I mentioned it during a 10am meeting with colleagues and they were understandably shocked.I spent most of yesterday morning and afternoon, in the midst of a very busy schedule, privately agonizing over what I would do as a subscriber.Over the years, I've published a number of op-eds in The Washington Post, pieces of which I'm quite proud in a paper I've put on a pedestal since I was a kid, and I've worked with numerous editors and reporters at the outlet whom I admire for their professionalism and public service.It is not lost on me that cancelling a newspaper subscription will not hurt Jeff Bezos but will hurt those employed at the paper.And yet, as much as my heart breaks for the staff of The Washington Post, who haven't done anything to deserve this, I am still left with the simple truth that if Bezos is willing to kill an endorsement 11 days out, whether out of fear or ambition, what else is he willing to do with the paper?There are numerous journalists at the outlet doing critical work, but how we do know anymore when Jeff Bezos is putting his thumb on the scale, backed up by a complicit CEO who blatantly lies about the paper's direction?There have to be consequences for an action this brazen and irresponsible and dangerous for our democracy. Something's gotta give. I respect the decisions of other subscribers, but I simply cannot stomach giving another dime in reward to a publication with such great influence that can be used to do such great harm moving forward.It is my hope that there will be a time, after Vice President Harris is elected, after Trump is held accountable, after the craven capitalists of media have learned there's not much to be made in the long run from these corrupt and shameless tactics, that The Washington Post will be restored to its former glory.In the meantime, I will pay for my news elsewhere.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Martin Baron ha estado en el 24 horas de RNE con Josep Cuní tras conocerse que el Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos ha concedido cierta inmunidad al expresidente por los actos durante su mandato. El periodista estadounidense, exdirector del 'The Washington Post' y autor del libro 'Frente al poder: Trump, Bezos y El Washington Post', considera que el Tribunal Supremo "le ha dado a Trump más poder de lo que podíamos imaginar antes": "Si gana las elecciones podría tener demasiado poder", prevé el periodista. Menciona también que el expresidente ha hablado abiertamente de varias políticas "que son de naturaleza autoritaria" y su intención de ponerlas en marcha. "Ahora va a tener suficiente poder para hacer lo que quiera", señala. Añade que Trump "representa una amenaza para la democracia": "Él ha hablado de la necesidad de reprimir a la prensa, él ha hablado de la necesidad de llevar cargos contra sus enemigos políticos. Son políticas de naturaleza autoritaria", sentencia.Por otra parte, Baron expresa en su libro que Jeff Bezos no tiene intención de imponer su visión política a nadie y le destacad como un señor "muy cauteloso en sus opiniones", hasta que en mayo de 2022 comienza a escribir en Twitter contra la retórica de Biden y las políticas contra la inflación. Si bien, explica que no sabía nada de su ideología: "Él quería darnos nuestra independencia. No quería meterse en la cobertura del periódico, no quería imponer su propia política".Escuchar audio

To figure out what's true and what's not in today's chaotic, fragmented, contradictory information environment, all of us news consumers have to think like journalists: is that story I'm seeing backed by evidence, is the headline fair, is the coverage biased? Well, we could do worse than to think like the journalist who is today's guest.Until his retirement in February 2021, Martin Baron was the editor of the WashingtonPost, following remarkable stints leading the Boston Globe and Miami Herald. Altogether, teams under his editorship amassed more than two dozen Pulitzer prizes, including one story at the Globe that became the subject of an Oscar-winning movie, Spotlight. Marty and I will talk about that and other stories; we'll focus on what it was like covering the Trump administration, what the ownership of Jeff Bezos meant to the Washington Post's coverage, and how high-stake decisions are made in the newsroom of a national daily in this highly charged era. The first voice you'll hear is that of Seth Green, the Dean of the University of Chicago's Graham School, who will offer me a chance to introduce the Alliance for Trust in Media.Websitewww.in-reality.fmProduced by Sound Sapiensoundsapien.com

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 6, 2024 is: circumspect • SER-kum-spekt • adjective Someone described as circumspect is careful to consider all circumstances and risks before doing or saying something. // They are circumspect in all their business dealings.

Best Of BPR 11/6/23: Martin Baron's New Book & Local Lawyer Helping Americans Escape Gaza

If you've felt like the news cycle has been out of control in the past few years, imagine being the editor of one of the most prominent papers in the US. Martin Baron had over a decade of newsroom experience before he took charge of The Washington Post in 2013. But just seven months into his new job, Baron received unexpected news: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos would buy (and own) the Post, marking a sudden end of control by the esteemed family that had presided over the paper for 80 years. Two years after that jarring shift, Donald Trump won the presidency. Baron found himself working for the capital's newspaper owned by one of the world's richest men while reporting on a president with an anti-press platform who once referred to them as the “lowest form of humanity.” In his debut release Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post, Baron provides readers with a personal account of the immense pressure faced by both him and his colleagues. Despite unprecedented circumstances, Baron led the Post‘s staff to award-winning coverage: stories about Trump's purported charitable giving, misconduct by the Secret Service, and former chief justice Roy Moore's troubling history. In addition to external challenges, Baron faced internal battles as well, such as changing societal dynamics around gender and race. Part memoir, part investigation, Collision of Power details the feat of managing the Post's newsroom while meeting a new owner's demands, all while simultaneously contending with a president who waged war against the media. The text examines the very nature of power in 21st-century America and how key players like media, money, technology, and politics interact and intersect. Martin Baron is a longtime journalist and newspaper editor. He ran the newsrooms of The Miami Herald and The Boston Globe before being named executive editor of The Washington Post in 2013. His role in launching an investigation of the Catholic Church's cover-up of sexual abuse by clergy was portrayed in the Academy Award-winning movie “Spotlight.” Baron retired from daily journalism in early 2021 and now splits his time between Western Massachusetts and New York City. Collision of Power is his first book. Frank Blethen is the publisher of The Seattle Times and the great-grandson of the 126-year-old company's founder.

Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Endowed Lecture In conversation with David Boardman In Collision of Power, Martin Baron tells the inside story of the monumental power struggle between the venerable newspaper The Washington Post, its demanding and ultra-wealthy owner Jeff Bezos, and the ceaselessly attacking President Donald Trump. The former editor of The Miami Herald and The Boston Globe, Baron became executive editor of The Washington Post in 2013 and remained in his post until 2021. During this time, he presided over such events as the paper's shift in ownership from the family that had owned it for 80 years, the former president referring to the press as ''the lowest form of humanity,'' and groundbreaking coverage, including the Spotlight investigation of Catholic priest child sexual abuse that would earn the publication awards and acclaim. David Boardman is the dean of the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University. A former executive editor and senior vice president of The Seattle Times, he is founding chair of the Lenfest Institute for Journalism, the nonprofit that owns The Philadelphia Inquirer. He sits on the advisory boards of ProPublica and the New England Center for Investigative Reporting, and he has served six times as a juror for the Pulitzer Prizes.

It is 20 years since the Boston Globe exposed the abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic church world wide. Two weeks ago The Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry's released its interim report into Marylands School for disabled boys in Christchurch, finding widespread sexual and physical abuse of students between 1955 and 1984.The Press newspaper in Christchurch began reporting on the horrors at Marylands School in 2002. Martin Baron was the editor of the Boston Globe, and its award winning Spotlight investigative team which tenaciously uncovered widespread sexual abuse by priests, hushed up by the church paying private settlements to claimants. The story was adapted for the big screen - Spotlight winning two academy awards. He joins Susie Ferguson to talk about the impact of the Spotlight team's work, two decades on.

Judy Woodruff (PBS NewsHour, NBC, CBS) and Martin Baron (Washington Post, Boston Globe, New York Times, Los Angeles Times) with Geoffrey Cowan (Dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism). In this fascinating discussion, the best in the business discuss growing distrust of the media that is being sown by misinformation and disinformation on social media and by disingenuous political forces. In their combined many decades of experience, Woodruff, Baron, and Cowan have covered world events with objectivity and humility, asking the right questions and seeking anwsers. Hear them address the problems (and benefits) of social media and potential solutions to restoring faith in the press. 

Martin Baron, former executive editor of the Washington Post, managed the newsroom during a decade of incredible change and shifting views about the media and truth. Baron led his team through a tumultuous time, as they covered everything from the Trump presidency, to the covid pandemic, to the Black Lives Matter movement. Along the way, he learned some important lessons about managing a public-facing company while remaining true to its purpose and mission. He speaks with HBR editor-in-chief Adi Ignatius.

JustServe (0:00:00) I think most of us have heard the quote from Gandhi that says, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”. It's completely true, but sometimes I hear this and think “Okay, but like, how?” Unless you have a nearby friend in need or know all of the local charity organizations near you, it can be a bit intimidating to find an opportunity to serve someone. This issue is what inspired the creation of JustServe dot org, a website that connects organizations with willing volunteers that offers service opportunities to millions across the nation. Today, we're joined by Martin Baron, a Global Marketing Communications Specialist and representative of JustServe, here with us to discuss JustServe and how we can find more opportunities to give to others.   Winter Travel Tips (0:14:17) It's easy to dream of being at the beach when it's overcast and chilly outside. But who wants to fly all the way to a travel destination that's colder than where they are right now? Turns out, there are entire tourist towns that flourish in the winter months, and we've been totally missing them! But where are they? We invited an insider onto the show to let us in on the secrets of winter travel and the best destinations. With us today is travel writer and Managing Editor of Cheapism.com, Danny Jensen.   Walk It Off (0:31:59) With AC, electricity, and hours on hours of shows on Netflix... the temptation is strong to never leave our houses. But, life as a couch potato isn't good for our health. And after a while, our dry wall scenery becomes dry and bland. If you're experiencing these lackluster feelings, it might be time for you to go outside and refresh your body and mind with nature. Here to explain the power of spending time outdoors is Florence Williams, a journalist and the author of “The Nature Fix”. Her research explores the effect that the natural world has on us.   Memes and Teens (0:50:36) Have you seen the memes going around the internet about the coronavirus? There's one that shows a picture of a bunch of friends holding Corona beer with the caption “Me and the squad trying to catch the corona virus so we can skip work.” Maybe you haven't seen it yet, but your teens have probably seen it or something like it! These memes try to make light of situations which are really quite heavy, so how can we help our teens understand the real issues behind these jokes? We've invited Dr. Carla Marie Manly, a clinical psychologist and wellness expert, to help us understand how to talk with our kids about the issues behind the meme.   Ride On (1:05:46) If you're looking for a good way to get involved in serving your community and you like horses, you might consider helping with equine therapy. This kind of therapy is unique because it can help with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. It has tried and true health benefits since its first implementation in Ancient Greece. And there are about 800 facilities across the US that offer it. Here to tell us more about equine therapy and how we can help is Sara Jones, the COO of Ride On, an organization based in Thousand Oaks, California that teaches adaptive horseback riding to children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities.   Making Exercise Fun (1:18:48) We all know that exercise is important but sometimes it can be hard to enjoy! It can be easy to get bored with doing the same workout routine and eventually you might develop a negative attitude towards exercise. Finding ways to make your workout more fun will only motivate you to stay active and meet your fitness goals! We are with Emily Nelson and Amber Zenith, the co-creators of HIGH Fitness this morning. We are going to talk to them about how we can make working out more enjoyable. 

Martin Baron explains how JustServe works, Danny Jensen gives tips for cold travel, Florence Williams gives exercise advice, Carla Manly discusses memes, Sara Jones talks about her charity, Emily Nelson and Amber Zenith gives tips for making exercise fun.

La intervención de Baron tuvo dos ejes centrales: por un lado, las relaciones entre el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y los medios de comunicación, con las implicaciones que ello tiene para el futuro de la democracia, y, por otro, en el futuro de los medios de comunicación ante el cambio disruptivo que están provocando las nuevas tecnologías. Baron, recordó las descalificaciones que ha dirigido Trump a los medios de comunicación, de los que ha dicho, según Baron, que son el enemigo, que son asquerosos, que son deshonestos y que difunden noticias falsas. Por ello, el director del Washington Post, el diario que destapó el escándalo Watergate que le costó la presidencia a Richard Nixon, sospecha que Trump tratará de ponerles todo tipo de obstáculos y trabas legales con el fin de limitar la libertad de expresión y de prensa. Por ello considera que está en juego la libertad de expresión. Para Baron, un posible endurecimiento de las relaciones entre Trump y la prensa resulta un asunto muy preocupante porque los medios juegan un papel central en la democracia, puesto que la democracia no existe si no hay libertad de expresión y libertad de prensa. Con independencia de las relaciones entre la Casa Blanca y los medios de comunicación, estos ya están sufriendo las consecuencias de un cambio tecnológico disruptivo que, en su opinión, irá todavía más rápido en el futuro. Ahora, los medios ya no compiten solo entre ellos; tienen que hacerlo también con las redes sociales, con YouTube, etc. El escenario, por tanto, ahora es completamente nuevo y distinto y los medios tienen que adaptarse con rapidez a él. Hoy las cosas han cambiado tanto que internet y las redes sociales están socavando la capacidad de influencia de los medios de comunicación. Y, lo que es peor para los medios tradicionales, las nuevas tecnologías permiten a cualquiera conseguir la información que quiera, en cualquier momento y lugar, y a través de cualquier dispositivo. Esto plantea un problema, porque hay mucha gente que solo quiere leer informaciones que estén en línea con sus opiniones, algo muy fácil de hacer hoy en día precisamente gracias a las nuevas tecnologías, pero que tiene el gran inconveniente de que impide que lleguen a esas personas noticias y opiniones alternativas que puedan cuestionar los puntos de vista o la visión del mundo de las personas. Este es un problema fundamental para la democracia. Y es que las redes sociales determinan la información que recibimos, difunden historias entre millones de personas y se han convertido en competidores fundamentales para los medios tradicionales. En este sentido, será clave para la supervivencia de los medios que estos sean capaces de crear rápidamente nuevos productos para los lectores y para los anunciantes.

Hoy repaso el discurso dado por el director de The Washington Post, Martin Baron, durante los Premios Gabriel García Márquez de Periodismo 2016. Durante su intervención, de 50 minutos y en castellano, Martin Baron repasa las claves del nuevo periodismo, lanza un mensaje repleto de optimismo ante un futuro para la prensa que está por venir, y explicó algunas claves del funcionamiento de The Washington Post, el diario propiedad de Jeff Bezos, fundador de Amazon. De sus palabras he extraídos algunas lecciones que me gustaría compartir en este programa. Puedes contactar conmigo en contacto@enriquebullido.com y visitar mi página enriquebullido.com.

Jeff Bezos: We need to take The Washington Post from being a great local paper, which was a very successful strategy for decades, and transform it into a great national and global paper. We have the capability to do that, and as we do that we're going to change the revenue structure. We've historically made a relatively large amount of money per reader on a relatively small number of readers. We need instead to make a relatively small amount of money per reader on a much larger number of readers. If you are studying the news business, the Internet has been a disaster for traditional news companies for the most part, because it takes a lot of things away. There are a lot of anti-gifts the Internet brought to the traditional news business. But it does bring one huge gift. You have to maximize your usage of that new gift, which is that it provides almost free global distribution. We could have hundreds of millions of readers and make very little money and have an amazing institution. And I'm happy to fund that until we get there.   Note: For this week's show, I am bringing you extensive excerpts from a Jeff Bezos interview conducted by Martin Baron, executive editor of The Washington Post, on May 18, 2016 at an event named Transformers. I have interspersed the clips with my comments on the interview, which I thought was extremely well done and revealing.  Here are some links to coverage of the interview.   “‘Not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave': Bezos fires back at Donald Trump” by Paul Farhi at The Washington Post - May 18, 2016   Next Week Show Interviews and observations from Book Expo America in Chicago   Music for my podcast is from an original Thelonius Monk composition named "Well, You Needn't." This version is "Ra-Monk" by Eval Manigat on the "Variations in Time: A Jazz Persepctive" CD by Public Transit Recording" CD.    Please Join the Kindle Chronicles group at Goodreads!

El programa de hoy es variado y hemos hablado de distintas personalidades, desde el Rey hasta el Secretario de la OTAN. Empezamos por Juan Carlos I y la forma en que se ha hecho con una fortuna en los años en que lleva al frente del Estado de España. A raíz de la noticia de que va a visitar algunos países árabes acompañado de la oligarquía financiera española, recordamos el artículo que publicó el New York Times, en el año 2012, en el que se mostraba la manera en que el Rey había amasado su patrimonio personal. Comentamos las declaraciones de la Presidenta de la Asamblea Nacional de Cataluña, Carmen Forcadell. D. Antonio nos ilustra y analiza los términos individuación e individualización y nos explica que a diferencia de la individuación en la es la naturaleza la que hace seres iguales, la individualización es la sociedad la que distingue unos sujetos de otros. La tercera noticia comentada es la referida en el periódico El Mundo sobre los Fiscales que quieren endurecer las leyes contra la corrupción. Seguidamente analizamos la entrevista que le hace El Mundo a Martin Baron, editor del The Washington Post y hablamos de los que significa la autocensura en el mundo de los Medios de Comunicación. Por último comentamos las últimas noticias sobre Ucrania y analizamos las declaraciones del Secretario General de la OTAN, en las que se ve que este señor no ha dicho una verdad en su vida. Ha conducido el programa Baldomero Castilla, con la intervención de D. Antonio García Trevijano y con la colaboración técnica de Pedro Gómez y Manu Ramos. Música: El Bolero de Ravel, Mozart, Travola Rustica, ..
