When Donald Trump takes office as president for a second time, many journalists anticipate a hostile climate toward them and their work.

Newspaper owners across the country have been ditching presidential endorsements, figuring they shouldn't alienate readers with something most of them don't care about.

The Washington Post has reportedly lost more than 200,000 subscribers following a decision announced last week not to endorse a candidate in the presidential race.

Sally Buzbee has stepped down after three years as executive editor of The Washington Post, one of journalism's most storied brands.

One of the nation's top journalism executives, Baron took over the Post's newsroom in 2012 after editing the Boston Globe and Miami Herald before that.

NEW YORK - The Miami Heralds stories on sex trafficking charges against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein illustrate a counter-intuitive trend: Investigative journalism is thriving as the news media industry struggles. The Heralds story came as news organizations are finding that investigative work helps them stand out and is rewarding in a rough business climate. It used to be said in this business that we couldnt afford to do investigative journalism, said Martin Baron, executive editor of the Washington Post. Now we have to do investigative journalism. Many of the Posts new subscribers cite investigative work as a reason for signing up, and those are the stories readers are drawn to, Baron said.
