The Magnificent Seven
Coming this fall: Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post by Martin Baron.
Ben Smith: “The book is well-told, insightful, and worth reading — if a little heavy on score-settling. It opens with the account of a previously unreported meeting between Trump and Bezos, attended by Baron despite his qualms. It also includes Baron’s experience of the newsroom’s generational conflict — including his near-resignation over staffers’ treatment of another top editor.”
