Investigative Journalism (Woodward and Bernstein)

The beginning of this movie was interesting because it shows the process of how much work goes into a story with you are an investigative journalist. You might go through a lot of work and fail...but you also might succeed. It is a lot of little things that can crack open a story. For example, you see Woodward and Bernstein making many phone calls (even to librarians) just to get any kind of information that they can. They even sit in a library and go through numerous library entries of persons checking out books about senator Kennedy dating back from a WHOLE YEAR. It's all about making connections and going through every possible source which makes investigative journalism what it is.
