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.
"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.
