Martin "Marty" Baron retired at the end of February 2021, after eight-plus years as executive editor of The Washington Post. News staff under his leadership won 18 Pulitzer Prizes. The Post won 11 Pulitzers for coverage during his tenure, which included the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, investigations of the National Security Agency, and Donald Trump's presidential campaign. While he was top editor of the Boston Globe, it won six Pulitzer Prizes, including for its investigation into the Catholic Church’s concealment of clergy sex abuse, later portrayed in the Academy Award-winning movie Spotlight.
