There probably isn't a journalist over the age of 30 who wasn't effected by the Watergate Crisis in 1972.

June 13 marks the 40th anniversary of the break-in of the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., which touched off a series of events culminating in the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon..

If you are in D.C., Wednesday, June 13 you can catch Bob Woodward at the Newseum, a 250,000 square-foot interactive museum all about the news business. 

The Newseum will present a special program with one of journalism’s pre-eminent investigative reporters, Bob Woodward. Woodward will talk about his role reporting the scandal for The Washington Post, which received the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 1973 for its Watergate investigation. The Watergate scandal — an epic tale of crime and cover-up at the highest levels of the U.S. government — pitted the Post against Nixon. It began June 17, 1972, with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters at the Watergate hotel and office complex. The Post’s coverage, led by Woodward and Carl Bernstein, attracted the attention of other news organizations and prompted Congress and the courts to investigate. The exposure of White House wrongdoing forced Nixon to resign in 1974, the first time in U.S. history that a president resigned from office. Woodward has worked at the Post since 1971 and is currently an associate editor

Tickets are $10 per person; free for Newseum members. Tickets can be purchased online or at the admission desk. For more information click here.

If you can't make to the museum, you can mark the occassion by watching the remarkable film All The President's Men with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in the roles of Woodward and Bernstein or read their book, which is still a gripping and at times horrifying look at government cover-ups.
