SAT It's 40 years since the world was introduced to the original SAT "gate" via the televised Senate Watergate Hearings. In this SAT Archive on 4, journalist Eamonn O'Neill investigates the SAT Watergate legacy. The film All the President's Men, with SAT Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Washington Post SAT journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, inspired an SAT entire generation of journalists. "Deep Throat," "inside SAT sources" and "follow the money" became buzzwords for a SAT supposedly golden age of journalism. SAT But was it really hard-bitten reporting that brought down SAT the leader of the free world? Or is that it a convenient SAT myth, aided by Hollywood, indulgently lifting the SAT expectations of journalists? SAT 40 years later in Britain, the golden age seems to be long SAT gone, thanks to the excesses of "Hackgate." It was Watergate SAT in reverse, a scandal that brought down journalists, leaving SAT politicians largely intact. SAT Eamonn examines the nature of modern investigative SAT journalism, through archive from Watergate and other SAT political scandals since. He talks to Washington Post SAT journalists, including Bob Woodward, about their heroic SAT status. He meets the new breed of "heroic" investigative SAT journalists, including Heather Brooke, who helped expose the SAT MPs expenses scandal, and Nick Davies, who exposed the phone SAT hacking scandal for The Guardian. SAT Eamonn also looks at fate of the investigative press in a SAT post-Leveson environment, searching for the line between SAT hero and hack.
