Join us for an exclusive evening with two of the most influential voices in news media today. This in-person discussion on journalism’s role will take place on April 14th
TEMPE, AZ – February 19, 2025 – Arizona State University, Tiempo Company, and Grupo Planeta present “Truth Across Borders”, a bilingual live conversation on April 14th featuring two of journalism’s most influential voices: Marty Baron, former Executive Editor of The Washington Post and acclaimed author, and Jorge Ramos, longtime Univision anchor and the most trusted voice in Spanish-language news.
Moderated by Javier Marin, Executive Chairman of Tiempo Company and longtime advocate for Spanish-language media, this bilingual event at Arizona State University will bring together students and the public for an in-depth exploration of the state of journalism today. As part of the event, a special exhibition will be displayed in the lobby entrance, showcasing footage and memorabilia from both Baron and Ramos.
Baron is a renowned journalist and former Executive Editor of The Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, and, most recently, The Washington Post. Over his distinguished career, he has led newsrooms to multiple Pulitzer Prizes, including The Boston Globe’s groundbreaking investigation into church abuse, later depicted in the Academy Award-winning film Spotlight. Baron is also the author of Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post.
Ramos is a multi-Emmy Award-winning journalist and longtime news anchor at Univision. His work has earned him the Gabriel García Márquez Award for Journalism, the Maria Moors Cabot Prize, and a place on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people. A prolific author, he has written numerous books, including his latest, Así veo las cosas.
Marin, from Tiempo Company and the event’s moderator, emphasized the importance of this dialogue: “As a media owner, I believe it is crucial to highlight the role of journalists in shaping public understanding and fighting for the truth, even when it’s difficult. Marty Baron and Jorge Ramos are not just experts; they are forces for good journalism.”
With public trust in journalism at a crossroads and the media landscape transforming before our eyes, this event provides an exclusive opportunity to hear from two of the most influential figures in modern journalism.
