The live event, hosted by Question Everything with Brian Reed – which you can listen to on KCRW – and the Tufts Daily where Rümeysa published her op-ed, gathered journalists, editors, and attorneys, including Carol Rose, who is part of Rümeysa's legal team and executive director of the Massachusetts ACLU.

Together they interview journalists and attorneys, including Carol Rose, part of Rümeysa's legal team and executive director of the Massachusetts ACLU, to learn what all happened to Rümeysa and why. What did her abduction by federal agents a month ago have to do with her immigration status as a Turkish graduate student studying child development, here on a student visa? Why did Secretary of State Marco Rubio say her Op-ed was cause for incarceration? Why is she still in ICE's custody? And what happened to the constitutional protections around free speech and a free press that we depend on in a free society? Joined by former editor-in-chief of both the Washington Post and the Boston Globe, Marty Baron; First Amendment lawyer Robert Bertsche; and senior politics reporter at The Intercept Akela Lacey; the group wrestles in real time with the gravity of this moment, not just for Rümeysa Öztürk, but for all of us.Read the Op-ed Rümeysa and others wrote that ran in The Tufts Daily a year ago in March.Watch the video of federal agents in plainclothes, forcing Rümeysa Öztürk into an SUV on March 25, 2025.Quick thing: In our discussion Carol Rose says the ACLU has filed 100 legal actions in President Trump's first 100 days.

John is joined by Marty Baron to discuss the changes being wrought by Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post, where Baron served as executive editor from 2013 to 2022, and how the Fourth Estate is faring in the Trump 2.0 era. Baron explains his reaction (disgust, shock, fury) to Bezos's recent ban on opinions at odds with his own from the Post's op-ed pages; why that move and others by the paper's owner since Trump's reelection can only be interpreted as acts of obeisance; and how those actions undermine the Post's credibility. Baron also argues that Team Trump's decision to take control of the White House press pool, handpicking which reporters are granted close access to the president, is part of a broader effort—familiar from autocratic regimes around the world—to undermine and eventually eliminate the free and independent press in America.

In Berkeley Talks episode 214, former editors of the New York Times and the Washington Post, Dean Baquet and Marty Baron, evaluate how the media covered the 2024 U.S. presidential election and share thoughts on how journalists should effectively cover Donald Trump's second term. In 2016, the New York Times was shocked that Trump won, because they didn't understand that the country was “ready to elect a Donald Trump,” said Baquet at a UC Berkeley Journalism event on Nov. 13. But, he said, he thinks the coverage of the most recent election was much better. “My argument would be that, and people have trouble accepting this, but all of the stuff you know about Donald Trump — his abuse of the tax structure that David Fahrenthold wrote about, his taxes and his tax dodges that the New York Times, including David Barstow, wrote about, the allegations of women, all of the things that became controversies about Donald Trump — were written about in the American press, and the American people voted Donald Trump in anyway. So I actually think the press did a much better job. How do you think the press performed this election?”“Well, I think there was a lot of good work,” responded Baron. “I would say this: When people asked me, ‘How did we do?' in 2016, I said that our problem predated 2016. Our problem is that we did not understand America well enough to understand that this country would produce a candidate like Donald Trump.“We did not understand the level of rancor and grievance against elites, including, and maybe particularly, the press, to understand that they didn't want Jeb Bush, who was called the front-runner at one point. They wanted exactly the opposite of Jeb Bush. They wanted somebody who was not part of governing the ruling elites, the political families. They wanted somebody who was going to go to Washington, basically be an arsonist, burn everything down, punch people in the face. And that's what they elected. And we didn't capture that. We didn't understand the country well enough. I do think that we suffered from the same problem this time.”“But this time, people knew that there was a good chance he'd win,” said Baquet. “There was a good chance he would win, but I don't think people anticipated that he would win as decisively as he has,” said Baron. “And they didn't understand that he would win in the voting segments that he won, to the degree that he did, among Black Americans, among Latinos, among even women, among you name it. To win all of the swing states, I don't think that that was anticipated at all.“And so, I don't think we detected that level of desire for a change. And to me, that is, I think we need to work harder at really understanding the country.”Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.UC Berkeley photo by Marlena Telvick.

Edited highlights of our full length conversation. Here's a question. What is your leadership for? This week's guest is Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the Junior Senator from the State of New York. Running for public office places you in a spotlight that is white hot. Being clear why you've made the choice to run in the first place is table stakes for creating the life you want to live and the legacy you want to leave behind. In too many companies and for too many people, leadership is seen as the thing that comes next for those who are willing to stick around. The inevitability of rising up the org chart into a role that comes with more everything is too rarely challenged by company or individual. Leadership is a privilege. An opportunity to make the biggest difference for the most people, that most of us will ever have. Marty Baron of the Washington Post described it as a responsibility. Mark Thompson, when he was at the New York Times, described leadership as the act of running towards the gunfire. Cecile Richards, formerly of Planned Parenthood, described herself as blessed to have been one of the really privileged few that could do what she thought needed doing. In industries where awards, wins, and results are to the fore, and success is often measured by how many and how much, I'm hoping that some of these conversations will also stir thoughts of what. What do I want to make better? What do I want to change? What difference do I want to make for the people around me? Because, as my work continues to evolve and my understanding continues to deepen, what I increasingly know to be true is that the awards, the wins, and the results are directly connected to the whats. That the leaders who are clearest about what difference they want to make are the ones who have the most evidence of having made it. Literally and figuratively. So, what is your leadership for?

Here on Inside Sources, our goal is to get past the headlines to the bigger conversations with great thinkers. But there's an infection of instant gratification spreading in media. If we don't refocus our efforts as journalists, reporters and concerned citizens we could lose the integrity of our new. Yesterday, former Washington Post editor Marty Baron sat down for a conversation at UVU to dole out some valuable insight on this issue. Samuel Benson joins the show to talk about what he heard at the forum.

Today's episode features two retired journalists who've written memoirs reflecting on some of the highs and lows of a career in the industry.

2023 will go down as the year that Elon Musk killed Twitter. First he did it in a big way, by buying the company, firing most of the employees, and destabilizing the platform; then he did it in a small, but important, symbolic way, by renaming the company X and trying to make a full break with what came before. So now that the story of the company named Twitter is officially over, it felt important to stop and ask: What was Twitter, anyway, and why were so many powerful people obsessed with it for so long? In this special episode, I sat down with Marty Baron, former executive editor of The Washington Post, and Zoe Schiffer, managing editor of Platform and author of Extremely Hardcore: Inside Elon Musk's Twitter. We discussed how two of Twitter's most dedicated power users – Donald Trump and Elon Musk — were addicted to the platform, defined it, changed it, broke it, and then put it to rest.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT AT HTTP://PETERNAVARRO.SUBSTACK.COM What do you get when you mix an astonishing lack of self-awareness with a liberal dose of self-righteousness?  Toxic Never-Trump propaganda like Collision of Power from the former Washington Post editor Marty Baron.  Baron's self-righteous claim he and the Amazon Post were not waging war against Donald Trump but simply “at work” smells like the Potomac in August.  As Baron produces the mother of all hit books, he expects us to believe the Post treated President Trump fairly. LISTEN FOR THE REST OF THE STORY.  SHARE WITH A FRIEND OR POSTIE.  

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. What do you have a responsibility to? This week's guest is Marty Baron. He's the former editor of the Boston Globe, and the former executive editor of the Washington Post. The newsrooms under his leadership won 17 Pulitzer Prizes. At the Globe, he instigated the investigation into the sexual abuse conducted by the Catholic Church in Boston, and which was turned into the Academy Award winning movie, Spotlight.  The list of seminal stories that were reported under his watch would fill an entire podcast episode by themselves, from Elián Gonzalez, to the Snowden files, to the 2000 Supreme Court decided election to name but a few. His new book, Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post, describes his 8 year leadership journey during one of the most tumultuous times in the paper's history.  Along the way, he has learned a staggering amount about leadership. Leadership, done well, is all about responsibility.  The trouble is that often, the definitions of leadership responsibility are too narrow and shallow. Too quickly defined and too quickly redefined when things get bumpy. When you meet a leader who sees their responsibility as clear, for whom that responsibility is deeply held, whose commitment to it is pressure tested, and for whom their definition of responsibility has withstood the fury of time, it often feels as though they are fearless. You ask them about being afraid and they shake their head. Not brashly, or boldly. But quizzically, almost as though they don't understand the question. And when you are asked to describe that person's leadership qualities, the words that come to the fore are integrity, self awareness, and courage. They are not words they ascribe to themselves. These are words that the rest of us use to help explain what sets them apart. But what sets them apart is not, as I have come to learn, their integrity, their self awareness, or their courage.  What sets them apart is the absolute certainty that they will do the right thing, because their leadership is not about them.  Their leadership is about something that they believe is more important than they are. Which might be the purest definition of leadership that I've heard so far. Judge for yourself.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. What do you have a responsibility to? This week's guest is Marty Baron. He's the former editor of the Boston Globe, and the former executive editor of the Washington Post. The newsrooms under his leadership won 17 Pulitzer Prizes. At the Globe, he instigated the investigation into the sexual abuse conducted by the Catholic Church in Boston, and which was turned into the Academy Award winning movie, Spotlight.  The list of seminal stories that were reported under his watch would fill an entire podcast episode by themselves, from Elián Gonzalez, to the Snowden files, to the 2000 Supreme Court decided election to name but a few. His new book, Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post, describes his 8 year leadership journey during one of the most tumultuous times in the paper's history.  Along the way, he has learned a staggering amount about leadership. Leadership, done well, is all about responsibility.  The trouble is that often, the definitions of leadership responsibility are too narrow and shallow. Too quickly defined and too quickly redefined when things get bumpy.

9 P.M. HourFormer Editor of the Boston Globe and Washington Post, Marty Baron joined Dan to discuss his new book, “Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post.” Baron revealed what it was like working in journalism during a decade of “political turmoil” that included Donald Trump's presidency, the #MeToo Movement, and more!

Baron joined The Washington Post in 2013 – just months before the paper was acquired by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. He led coverage of major news events including Donald Trump's election and presidency, the document leak describing the NSA's surveillance operations, and the murder of George Floyd. His new book is Collision of Power. Also, John Powers reviews two books by Helen Garner.

Marty Baron ran The Washington Post's newsroom for nine years. In that time, Marty clashed with then-president Donald Trump. He pacified rebellions from his younger and increasingly more ideological staff. And he partnered with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos to take on arguably the biggest disrupter of all: technology.  He's written about all of this — and a lot more — in his new book, Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post. Today, Marty is joining Playbook co-author and Deep Dive host Ryan Lizza to spill the tea on what actually happened between Bezos and Trump; what the media should be doing to earn your trust; and whether billionaires like Jeff Bezos are secretly pulling the strings behind closed doors. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Marty Baron is the retired executive editor of The Washington Post.  Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Hosted by Jane Pauley. On today's program, Ted Koppel looks at how artificial intelligence is being developed for the military; Tracy Smith sits down with singer and activist Joan Baez, subject of the new documentary, "Joan Baez I Am a Noise"; Rita Braver talks with the cast of the Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along"; Rob Costa talks with former Washington Post editor Marty Baron; and Conor Knighton visits forensic scientists who investigate crimes against wildlife.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
