In Collision of Power, veteran editor Marty Baron offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Washington Post newsroom from Jeff Bezos’s 2013 acquisition through Donald Trump’s presidency. Facing intense pressure from a billionaire owner and a hostile White House, the Post pursued groundbreaking investigations into political influence, financial misconduct, and personal scandals.

Baron recounts key moments such as coverage of Trump’s charitable giving, Secret Service lapses, and Roy Moore’s allegations, all while guiding a diverse staff through shifting attitudes on gender and race. His account emphasizes the challenges of maintaining journalistic independence in an era of polarized media and concentrated wealth.

Ideal for readers of media studies and political history, Collision of Power reveals the complex interplay between money, technology, and democracy in the 21st century.
