The inaugural GBH Impact Award recipient is Martin “Marty” Baron, an American journalist and former editor of The Washington Post and The Boston Globe
The GBH Impact Award is more than a recognition of one person — it is a celebration of the values that have defined our institution since its inception. We honor individuals who inspire the good in all of us, and illuminate our world with integrity, courage, and a profound commitment to the public we serve.
The award honors visionaries who use their craft to strengthen community and civic spaces. Their work reflects GBH’s founding ideal: that public knowledge is a fundamental public good.
