This country cannot flourish without true, investigative, time-consuming journalism. Truth cannot be conveyed in sound bites.
Even as a student news reporter, I can relate to Woodward`s story very much.
My major in college is journalism. interesting to see the input of more seasoned journalists
This is really useful information. I want to be a reporter one day, so it's nice to get some tips.
Are you a reporter now?
Well,
-Mr. Woodward has been a relevant inspiration throughout my life. I was editor of my h/s yearbook and writer for the newspaper. I haven't pursued journalism as a career but I still do some freelance work. For me he is a symbol of hope for American Journalism.
The problem with media today is that they pick sides and report to certain demographics. I am a moderate liberal, but I don't like media outlets that only tell me what I want to hear.
-I have not, and will no given up on journalism.
Funny how most people who said this have done a complete 180 on that stance after 2017. They just lack the self realization and continue to live in denial about it though.
@@kishascape Hi Kisha, you said that most people said “that.” I said a few things on this post (apparently 13 years ago). Lol. Which of the things that I said are you talking about?
Bob Woodward epitomizes journalism in the US to me.
I believe he was the first investigative journalist to find out that Joe Biden adores puppies.
Next will be his book about the Biden family........
Favorite colors.
Shabby journalism huh?
Oh, he’s been accused of that by politicians for decades. Woodward usually just dusts people like you right off of his shoulder and carries on.
😄
@@TheRealBizWizthat's right. He just counts the money they gave him to mouthpiece for the establishment and dusts all of us off on the way to the bank! Special thanks to Mark Felts for the assist-as in dropping the whole thing in his lap.
this is highly educational for someone interested in journalism.
Search for some rock music or something instead of making dumb comments.
We need some journalists to expose the lies of the insurance companies and let people know that greed is the reason for high premiums and not the low % of fraud.
Twin towers were heavly insured just before 9/11
Honest ... Ethical ... Seeking the Truth.
All the Best ... Thanks Bob.

"his entire career was built off the whitewater investigation"
???
Do you mean "Watergate"?
Solid investigative journalism finds, no hunts down, the truth, facts that others have yet to find....or expose in a way for others to understand...I am a mother of a severely autistic son who has tried to do this (see you tube video autism epidemic out of control) to expose the rampant abuse of the word autistic these days...the problem today is many journalists don't have time to investigate...it takes a lot of time and research..it's easier to print simple stories that don't require much..
I was actually questioning the validity of a journalism degree, not if it helps you get a job. Some companies don't care what your journalism background is or what field your degree is in, so long as you have one. Having a degree doesn't necessarily make you a better journalist. That's like saying the best writers graduated with with an English major. It isn't necessary. Some people are just born to write. Those are the ones who should, not the ones who have to learn how.
Im only here for Kerr's class
From what I get from Bob a newspaper has to specialise, aka football , farmers, restaurants, retail, culture, child protection, etc, and collate, verify then report
Isnt it the same guy that broke the Watergate scandal
You tube refuse to put volume on video...
Hamza, Bob Woodward, author of 16 books is, perhaps the leading investigative journalist in the world. Please listen to his tips and try to browse through his revealing latest book "Obama's Wars". It full of insights on tensions in the White House on how to run the Afghan War.
Not likely given how much advertising they do, esp. in the media.
You can be paid to mouthpiece for the establishment. Reading info dropped in your lap that you didnt really have to uncover. Like phone calls from Mark Felts.
#1. Let Mark Felts call you and drop the whole thing in your lap?
@distantquasars intellectual strength pffft!
What would the world be without teabagging trolls?
Sad but true. And the news is now expected to be entertaining rather than informative or accurate!
"what they believe the truth to be". Inductive reasoning at it's finest. Lots of objectivity there. Rule #1 Leave your beliefs and feelings out of your journalism. That is for the editorial page.
Where are his comments on in-depth journalism in the digital age? I'm trying to figure out how to do anything in-depth while racing around to pick up three vosots on a fatal car wreck, house fire, drug bust, etc... while writing two packages about a child murdered by his mom...
Internet vs People? At this point for me is the INTERNET, documents,
newspapers, people, :)))
I feel bad
Bob Woodruff always talks a kid from the slow bus. I think he's trying to show how deliberate he is in his thinking or something. Talking fast here though, for him. It should never take you 3 seconds to finish a word.
Hi there people of Earth ! there are many super complicated reasons for the destruction of that oil rig, # 1: the fact it happened in the same gulf that that the metor hit 65 millions years is no coinsedence! also # 2:the fact that I am the
rate it 1/5!!!!!
I'm trying to get into this citizen journalism thing, and on my channel you'll find a really interesting interview with a man who was falsely accused of terrorism and tortured by U.S. officials... sorry to plug it here
It’s crazy how Washington post is the absolute WORST at journalism yet finds the nerve to post this from this platform
Don't insult rock music, please. I'm a metal guitarist and vocalist, but also a writer and interviewer who came here looking for good tips.
lmao
2 + 2 = 5
(2.5 + 2.5 = 5)
You see? 2 + 2 may be 5 aswell. Cause you dont know whats typed behind 2!
I must be the new jesus. it is all some obvious now! I just took away all your sins!
Just try to get a job as a journalist these days without a college degree. Just try. Have you any idea how much basic information a journalist has to possess just to write a simple government-office story?
I have a major story, contact me!
How?
beesh neega
h
+1 als je dit kijkt voor engels
Gee!
Looks like a fail based on the comments about old Bob!
Maybe they should have picked another "expert"!
If you need someone to tell you how to be a journalist, you shouldn't be a journalist.
Are you telling me that the qualifications for being a journalist are on the same difficulty as those of a doctor? You don't need a college degree to be a journalist. Just a pen, paper and a little imagination to make a story when there isn't one.
So what your really saying is you really know how to keep boys state of missouri out the eyes of the public 😂😂😂😂😀
I would hope that the new generation of journalists would go down a different path than these old losers. Try the truth and report facts, and you might open a whole new era where people would start to respect you and your works.
Great reporter but pretty boring homie
