Recommended: The watergate scandal

Political controversy has become increasingly interesting to me within the past few years. Choosing a fairly recent topic that I would be able to talk about with my parents, as well as my teachers was also extremely important to me. I came across a decrepit encyclopedia in the back of my family’s bookshelf and skimmed through it, looking especially for major events that affected the public immensely. While narrowing down my topic choices, I determined the Watergate Scandal would be a great choice for me because of my interest in politics, and the complexity of the subject would allow me to explore different paths to focus on. I first conducted general research on the Watergate Scandal to enhance my ability to comprehend and categorize any

    The book I chose to read for this assignment was All the President's Men, by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. The book was about the biographical accounts of two Washington Post reporters and of how their investigative journalism played a major role in solving one of the largest political scandals in American history. Me being a history buff was happy that the book was on the list of selective readings that we could choose for this assignment and before even reading a page was most certain that I would enjoy the book. I knew some about Watergate already and was eager to jump on the chance to learn more about it, especially from the two people who played the major role of bring the whole scandal to the surface. I had seen the movie before and had known from past experiences that movies leave out so much information when they are based on a book so I knew that I would be getting the full detail in account from the authors that I missed out on before. I am not the type who enjoys reading and it always ends up being a hard struggle for me to get through an entire book, but this book ended up not being like pulling teeth for me. Reading the book ended up being the exact opposite, enjoying it so much that it was hard to put down, not only because of the fact that I was fascinated with the information being provided, but also in the direct way that it was presented.

  • Confidence In The Watergate Scandal

    It is clear that while political scandal, primarily the 1974 Watergate scandal, played a large role in the rapidly declining confidence in government between 1968 and 1980, it is not the sole or even the dominant factor. The Watergate scandal only impacted on the Nixon era, and subsequently lead to measures that should have prevented further distrust in the government. Instead, the role played by the four presidents who held office in those years was the main reason behind the decline in confidence. The role of the presidents and their White House administrations encompassed political scandals, and also clearly influenced other factors such as the role

    It is important to note Watergate was no doubt an important event, both in politics and journalism, for it exposed a severe abuse of power by a President and forced the powers that be to be held accountable. As for journalism, the strategies used by Woodward and Bernstein became the standards used by modern investigative journalists. Although at times the tactics used by the two were somewhat questionable, the story of Watergate would have never been able to see light if the rules were not bent a little. Without the efforts of these journalists, the criminal activities of the President and his conspirators would not have been discovered until well after Nixon would have left office. In fact, Watergate probably would have not been uncovered if not for the efforts of Woodward and Bernstein.

Too many journalists insist they alone were the driving force behind the uncovering of Watergate. While the media played a crucial role in getting the...
