Marty Baron’s listicle
• In speech on April 5, the
veteran editor offered
nine reasons for hope
• “I … choose to be
optimistic because only
as an optimist can I
envision a route to
success.”
1. We’re still here
• Not long ago, skeptics predicted the end for
such major newspapers as The New York
Times, The Boston Globe and the Los Angeles
Times
2. New owners with money
• Jeff Bezos, John Henry and Aaron Kushner are
bringing deep pockets and new energy to the
task of reinvigorating legacy newspapers
3. New journalistic organizations
• Vox, FiveThirtyEight and Re/Code split off
from The Washington Post, The New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal

succeeds or not, will accelerate the pace of
reinvention

• Data visualization, lists, video and other
innovations are leading to an audience that is
more engaged with journalism
5. We’re better listeners
• Business challenges have made us more
attuned to what engages our customers
6. New opportunities
• Legacy news organizations — not just
entrepreneurial start-ups — are hiring people
with technical skills such as coding or video
7. The rise of digital natives
• Young journalists grew up speaking the
language of the Internet, and they are now
moving into key newsroom positions
8. Strong journalism persists
• Public service reporting by mid-size papers
such as the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel,
The Sacramento Bee and The Boston Globe
continues to make a difference
9. Optimism is necessary
• “There is no acceptable alternative to
optimism”
