It began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee
headquarters in Washington DC, on 17 June 1972. Bob Woodward, a
journalist for the Washington Post, was called into the office on a
Saturday morning to cover the story. Carl Bernstein, a political
reporter on the Post, was also assigned. They soon learned this was
no ordinary burglary. Following lead after lead, Woodward and
Bernstein picked up a trail of money, conspiracy and high-level
pressure that ultimately led to the doors of the Oval Office. Men
very close to the President were implicated, and then Richard Nixon
himself. Over a period of months, Woodward met secretly with Deep
Throat, for decades the most famous anonymous source in the history
of journalism. As he and Bernstein pieced the jigsaw together, they
produced a series of explosive stories that would not only win the
Post a Pulitzer Prize, they would bring about the President's
scandalous downfall. ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN documents this amazing
story. Taut, gripping and fascinating, it is a classic of its kind
-- the true story of the events that changed the American
presidency.
In the most devastating political detective story of the century,
two "Washington Post" reporters, whose brilliant, Pulitzer
Prize-winning investigation smashed the Watergate scandal wide
open, tell the behind-the-scenes drama the way it really happened.
Beginning with the story of a simple burglary at Democratic
headquarters and then continuing with headline after headline,
Bernstein and Woodward kept the tale of conspiracy and the trail of
dirty tricks coming -- delivering the stunning revelations and
pieces in the Watergate puzzle that brought about Nixon's
scandalous downfall. Their explosive reports won a Pulitzer Prize
for "The Washington Post" and toppled the President. This is the
book that changed America.
"The Final Days" is the classic, behind-the-scenes account of
Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by
moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate
White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of
Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable
resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall
from office -- one of the gravest crises in presidential history.
Documentary that makes use of unprecedented access to follow life
in the New York Times newsroom for a year. The New York Times is
arguably the most important newspaper in the world; it is certainly
one of the best read and most influential newspapers in the United
States. Filmmaker Andrew Rossi was granted rare access to the
internal workings of the newspaper for this documentary, where he
captures the frantic nature of professional journalism as stories
erupt and advances in technology continually force the paper to
adapt. In particular, the story of crusading journalist David Carr
is picked up. Carr attends closely to the threat of social media
and internet technology to the kind of professional, newsroom-based
journalism of the New York Times and offers a staunch defence of
his paper and the print media it represents.
