Woodward and Bernstein, both Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists and bestselling authors, changed the face of modern American journalism 50 years ago. While at The Washington Post, their investigation into the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office building in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972 eventually led to the official resignation of then-U.S. President Richard M. Nixon on Aug. 9, 1974.
Woodward is an associate editor of The Washington Post where he has worked for 50 years. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes: the first in 1973 for the coverage of the Watergate scandal with Bernstein; and the second in 2002 as the lead reporter for the Post鈥檚 coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has authored 22 national bestsellers.
Bernstein has served as the Washington bureau chief for ABC News and authored seven bestselling books. 聽
Aronberg, state attorney for Palm Beach County, leads a team of 115 prosecutors and 180 professional staff in five offices throughout Palm Beach County. He is a former assistant attorney general, White House fellow and Florida senator.
鈥淭his is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in South Florida to hear first-hand from two iconic Pulitzer Prize-winners about the state of American journalism and the current challenges facing American democracy,鈥 said Jane Morgan, executive director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at 爱妃传媒.
