Watergate journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein participated in a panel discussion called “Watergate and the Media: Did the System Work?” which was moderated by David Oshinsky. Bernstein and Woodward wrote about the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post from 1972-1974. Their investigative reporting was credited with forcing President Nixon’s resignation. Scholars examined the ways in which Watergate changed the press. After their presentations the participants responded to audience members' questions.

The Harry Ransom Center presented “The Legacy of Watergate: Why It Still Matters” in McCullough Theatre. Co-sponsors were the Austin American-Statesman and statesman.com. This forum held on the 35th anniversary of the Watergate break-in celebrated the opening of the Woodward-Bernstein Watergate Archive. close
