From The Atlantic.

Recorded in Miami, Florida, on February 12, 2026, this fireside chat features The Atlantic’s managing director for events, Evan Smith, in conversation with the former Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron, who talked about the fallout from recent sweeping newsroom cuts at the Post and what they signal for journalism’s future.

This conversation was part of The Atlantic Across America event series. In 1857, The Atlantic’s founders wrote that their magazine would make a sincere and honest effort to represent and champion what they called “the American idea.” The Atlantic will visit all 50 states in a series of events where we will surface and engage with the most urgent, complex, and distinctly American questions of the moment in the places where they are unfolding.
