He returned to the ''Herald'' as executive editor in 2000 and was at the helm of coverage of numerous key stories, including Elián González' return to Cuba and the 2000 election. Baron's editorial helm at the ''Globe'', where he succeeded Matthew V. Storin, shifted the paper's coverage of international events to locally centered investigative journalism. The ''Globe''s coverage of the Boston Catholic sexual abuse scandal earned them a Pulitzer Prize. On November 13, 2012, the Globe and ''The Washington Post'' announced that Baron would take over as executive editor of the ''Post'' as of December 31, 2012. Baron succeeds Marcus Brauchli, who took on a new role as vice president of The Washington Post Company, to review and evaluate new media opportunities. ==Popular culture== In the 2015 film ''Spotlight'', which focuses on the Boston Globe's coverage of the Catholic Church's priest child molestation scandal, Baron is played by Golden Globe Award and Primetime Emmy Award nominated actor Liev Schreiber.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1895587/combined〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Baron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
