The former executive editor of The Washington Post and the publisher emeritus of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette will speak at the Clinton Presidential Center as part of the Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture series.
The event -- featuring Martin Baron, who wrote a book about his experiences as executive editor of the Post, and Walter E. Hussman Jr., chairman of WEHCO Media Inc., which publishes the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and other newspapers -- is scheduled for 6 p.m. April 9.
Baron is author of "Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post," an insider's view of the Post's evolution from a family-controlled business to a Jeff Bezos enterprise. Hussman was publisher of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette from 1991-2022. Before that, he was publisher of the Arkansas Democrat.
Baron will sign copies of his book after the lecture. People may buy the book for delivery or in-store pickup by visiting clintonmuseumstore.org/cproduct/14025/collision-of-power.
