Collision of power : Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post
\"A monumental work of nonfiction that gives a first-row seat to the epic power struggle between politics, money, media, and tech -- for fans of Maggie Haberman's Confidence Man and Jane Mayer's Dark Money. Marty Baron took charge of The Washington Post newsroom in 2013, after nearly a dozen years leading The Boston Globe. Just seven months into his new job, Baron received explosive news: Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, would buy the Post, marking a sudden end to control by the venerated family that had presided over the paper for 80 years. Just over two years later, Donald Trump won the presidency. Now, the capital's newspaper, owned by one of the world's richest men, was tasked with reporting on a president who had campaigned against the press as the \"lowest form of humanity.\" Pressures on Baron and his colleagues were immense and unrelenting, having to meet the demands of their new owner while contending with a president who waged a war of unprecedented vitriol and vengeance against the media. In the face of Trump's unceasing attacks, Baron steadfastly managed the Post's newsroom. Their groundbreaking and award-winning coverage included stories about Trump's purported charitable giving, misconduct by the Secret Service, and Roy Moore's troubling sexual history. At the same time, Baron managed a restive staff during a period of rapidly changing societal dynamics around gender and race. In Collision of Power, Baron recounts this with the tenacity of a reporter and the sure hand of an experienced editor. The result is elegant and revelatory-an urgent exploration of the nature of power in the 21st century\"-- Provided by publisher.

'Spotlight' On Journalism
No film ever has done a better job of showing reporters and editors in their \"watchdog\" role than \"Spotlight.\" A critical moment in \"Spotlight\" comes when [Martin Baron] describes three ways the Globe could frame the story: concentrating on the one priest who has been in the news; telling the story of the larger number of priests identified as abusers (with less de; or focusing on the church as an \"institution.\" Before the team chooses that third way, he explains that only by proving the church leaders' knowledge of the priests' misconduct can things be changed. Movies invent dialogue, change facts and create their own time frame. That's true of \"Spotlight,\" even if it achieves an unusually high level of authenticity. By ending with the paper's initial report, \"Spotlight\" makes only a passing mention of more than 600 articles that followed.

American and Iranian officials have said they discussed Rezaian's detention and that of two other Americans, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati of Flint, Michigan, and Christian pastor Saeed Abedini of Boise, Idaho, during the nuclear talks. The U.S. also says it has asked for the Iranian government's assistance in finding former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who went missing in 2007 while working for the CIA on an unapproved intelligence mission.
