54th Annual LA Press Club Awards to name finalists for best work in 2011 by journalists filing on all media platforms.
Rarely have two historical journalistic events intersected and become the centerpiece for the 54th Annual Los Angeles Press Club’s Awards Gala June 24 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown L.A.
That night Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward will receive the 2012 President’s Award for Impact on the Media. The award comes on the 40th anniversary of largest political scandal in American history, Watergate. As young Washington Post reporters, they wrote hard-hitting, investigative reports that tied the affair and subsequent cover-up to the Richard Nixon White House and contributed to the only resignation of a sitting U.S. president. More.
Special event produced by KPCC’s Crawford Family Forum in partnership with the Los Angeles Press Club

The Watergate break-in, White House cover-up, Deep Throat’s leaks to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the two cub reporters at The Washington Post who broke the story… it’s the stuff of legend and arguably marked a sea-change in investigative journalism. John Dean, White House counsel to President Nixon, was there through it all, and is here to tell us why forty years ago this political scandal changed the way we cover politics and the presidency forever. He joins KPCC’s Frank Stoltze and veteran newsman Richard Reeves on Wednesday, May 16 at KPCC’s Crawford Family Forum. Stoltze is two-time winner of the LA Press Club’s Radio Journalist of the Year. More.
