Carl Bernstein, History Maker

"I was a terrible student,” legendary investigative journalist Carl Bernstein says with a smile. “The last time I got decent grades was in fifth grade. I’m good at doing things I want to do. I’m not good at doing things other people want me to do.”

It’s autumn in Manhattan and Bernstein is in his apartment overlooking Central Park, reflecting via Zoom on his scrappy youth and storied career, and how he went from being academically “hopeless” to a formidable reporter whose 1972 coverage of the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post, with Bob Woodward, brought down President Richard Nixon and won the Pulitzer Prize.

Bernstein started in journalism in 1960, when, as a 16-year-old high schooler, he scored a job as a copyboy at the Washington Star. He worked there until 1965, fetching coffee, taking dictation, and trying to get his byline in print.

Carl Bernstein

American journalist (born 1944)

Carl Milton Bernstein (BURN-steen; born February 14, 1944) is an American investigative journalist and author. While a young reporter for The Washington Post in 1972, Bernstein was teamed up with Bob Woodward, and the two did much of the original news reporting on the Watergate scandal.^[2] These scandals led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. The work of Woodward and Bernstein was called "maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time" by long-time journalism figure Gene Roberts.^[3]

Bernstein's career since Watergate has continued to focus on the theme of the use and abuse of power via books and magazine articles. He has also done reporting for television and opinion commentary. He is the author or co-author of six books: All the President's Men (1974) and The Final Days (1976), both with Bob Woodward; Loyalties: A Son's Memoir (1989); His Holiness: John Paul II and the History of Our Time (1996) with Marco Politi; A Woman in Ch
