Newswise — STONY BROOK, NY—October 3, 2014—Few journalists in American history have had the impact on their era and craft that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have.

In the 1970s, Woodward and Bernstein set the standard for modern investigative reporting with a series of articles for The Washington Post that unraveled the Watergate scandal and led to the resignation of Richard Nixon.
