Pulitzer Prize-Winning Former Executive Editor of the Washington Post
Martin Baron Biography
Martin (Marty) Baron retired at the end of February 2021, after eight-plus years as Executive Editor of The Washington Post. During his tenure, the paper won 11 Pulitzer Prizes for coverage that included the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and investigations of the National Security Agency and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. He is the author of “Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post,” which was released in 2023.
Previously, Baron had been editor of the Boston Globe. During his 11½ years there, the Globe won six Pulitzers — for public service, explanatory journalism, national reporting and criticism -- including one for its investigation into the Catholic Church’s concealment of clergy sex abuse. That coverage was portrayed in the Academy Award-winning movie “Spotlight.”
Before the Boston Globe, Baron held top editing positions at the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Miami Herald. Under his leadership, the Miami Herald won a Pulitzer for its coverage of the raid to recover Elián González, the Cuban boy at the center of a fierce custody dispute. Baron began his journalism career at the Miami Herald as a state reporter and later as a business writer.
A graduate of Lehigh University, where he received his BA and MBA, Baron holds honorary degrees from George Washington University, George Mason University and his alma mater.
