Biography

The violent political turbulence of Argentina in the 1970s led Ana Baron to settle in Paris, where she graduated from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences and the Fondation National Sciences Politiques. In those years she became a correspondent of Editorial Atlántida, together with her colleagues Danielle Raymond and Silvina Lanús. Beginning in 1985, she resided in the United States. Her colleagues recalled an anecdote from 1986: In the 1990s, she joined the already created Journalists' Association of Argentina, of which she was a member until November 2004, when she was part of the collective that resigned before its imminent dissolution. From 1998 to 2013, she was the Washington, D.C. correspondent of the Buenos Aires newspaper '' Clarín'', for which she had been a columnist in preceding years from New York. In 1999, she was part of the group by King Juan Carlos for an investigation in the ''Clarín'' supplement ''Zona'' on the secret reports of the US Embassy.
