Monday, October 20, 8 p.m., at National Press Club

Adelphi, Md. (Sept. 23, 2014) On June 17, 1972 a simple botched break-in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington, DC captured the attention of two intrepid reporters who uncovered a trail of corruption that led all the way up to our Commander in Chief.

On the next edition of The Kalb Report, Pulitzer Prize winning reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein join journalist/scholar Marvin Kalb to recount their coverage of the Watergate scandal and the groundbreaking reporting that ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon 40 years ago.

The Kalb Report will take place on Monday, October 20, at 8:00 p.m. EDT, in the main ballroom of the National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, in Washington, D.C. 

"They have both appeared before on The Kalb Report, but separately," said Marvin Kalb. "Now they're together, the team that re-invented investigative reporting and, using this tool, helped bring down a president. It's called Watergate, one of the biggest scandals in American history. Woodward and Bernstein, or Woodstein, as they were once called, share a place in Watergate history. We are honored to have them as our guests."

The Kalb Report series is produced jointly by The National Press Club Journalism Institute, the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs, Harvard University's Shorenstein Center, University of Maryland University College and the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.
