In All the President’s Men Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward serve as journalist for the Washington Post. What I love about this film is the drive that I see from Bernstein and Woodward. The film shows a picture of what it looks like to be passionate and follow after a craft.
Bernstein says, “I lived here all my life, I got a million contacts, but they’re all bus boys and bellhops.” What does it look like to make a name for yourself in journalism? What does it take to follow a story until it is settled and the details are known.
The tagline of the movie sums up the purpose of the two journalists: "At times it looked like it might cost them their jobs, their reputations, and maybe even their lives."
Maybe that is what good journalism is.
