they made journalism look glamorous. they made journalism look sexy. the movie, "all the president's men" which came out in april 1976, made journalism a sexy and entertaining and appealing profession. so thousands of young people decided to major in journalism programs in colleges and universities across the country. the best research shows that's not true, that the surge in enrollments in journalism and mass communication programs at u.s. universities and colleges had begun well before watergate, was underway well before woodward and bernstein became household names. >> would those 20 people have gone to jail, gone to prison if there hadn't been a woodward and bernstein? >> i think so. almost certainly. they probably -- richard nixon i think would have survived his presidency. he would have served out his term, his second term, had it not been for the existence of the watergate tapes. that's my view. there's no way of knowing this. and the supreme court forced richard nixon to surrender the tapes that really clearly showed his culpability his guilty

, good journalism works, and the fact that good journalism works across any platform is hugely encouraging. >> i think the new new thing that will be transformative the next five years may be the advance, you see it in your iphone, but in just voice recognition which leads to sort of an artificial intelligence, almost, where you can just communicate with any device, it learns everything you want. the interface is so simple, you just say show me somebody interesting on media on charlie rose and your tv will do that for you instead of you having to work with a brain-dead cable tv system, and i think natural user interfaces and interfaces that learn your preferences and the preferences of all your friends and aggregate the wisdom of your friends and your own preferences by just allowing you simply to talk to them will help transform media in the future. >> that's really well said. in a way it's like the new remote control of your life. it controls everything in your life. if you google and you think you're on top of the world, sirri is a much more efficient search engine. so they have to worr

tends to host more adversarial journalism dare i say tapping into the roots of what real journalism should be people all over the world are tuning in because they want to see real reporting done about america's domestic and foreign policy according to a recent study r.t.e. leads all other channels in the level of people watching daily in canada channels growing popularity hasn't come without controversy. r t is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like al-jazeera but the kremlin already controls domestic television now it's going after the international audience to repair a national event tarnished by war corruption and assaults on democracy under vladimir putin freedom of the press was stifled as tremont approved only got sports media outlets one after another and none of these china we see. is about to bite the hand that feeds them now a lot of people say yeah our team does have spin because it's funded by the government of russia let's examine the premise at work here greenwald wrote an article that sums it up pretty nicely shining a light on the people and money

journalism is best people american journalism sir as a check in balance of power in the country. whatever one thinks of the george bush story worthy of a great story, we spoke truth about power. when you do that there will be a price to pay and we paid the price. you may say it was justified. i don't think it was justified but you are entitled to your opinion. it is important to understand how lucky -- there are a lot of reasons for. contraction of jobs and journalism. another is the political news not to mention tribune of the news but whether you read the book or not or like the book or not, i asked you to think hard about the importance of truly free and independent american journalism particularly hard edge journalism. >> can i invite questions from the floor? thank you. >> my job is to work network news. i asked to leave that job for one day to say thank you for telling the truth. is a national tragedy what is happening with the national news. i have been in these networks 35 years and seen this happen. is a genuine tragedy and i thank you for this and the rest of the world.

in american journalism newsrooms. it's a cause for some concern and probably more debate and discussion than it's been given. >> has this book been picked up by 8% of the conservatives in either the community or people in the public? they are more than 8% conservative. >> well, i hope so. i mean, i hope they're reading the book, and i hope the other 92% are as well. >> what i mean, though, isn't this proof right here that the people that are outraged about the media have been right? >> well, the book is a little more nuanced than that, and i think -- the message i try to get across, it's not a media bashing book but one that's aligned with the fundamental central objective of american journalism, mainstream journalism in this country, and that is trying to get it right. the book does try to set the record straight to the extent we possibly can. i think it's aligned with one of the fundamental objectives of american journalism, rather than bashing the media. there's a lot of that going on, probably enough of it going o

and the license fee was to support quality journalism. and, of course, the argument in fave of it was that there were great externalities. if you're an economist, there were great benefits from the educational effect of that, from getting trusted information, and there was a public good to be supported. but the market itself would not necessarily support in broadcasting. and then, of course, there were further benefits because once you put it on a broadcaster network, the marginal cost of delivering it to millions of people as against thousands of people was my mall. some of these arguments, in my view, now alie to the internet. -- apply to the internet. there is a problem about the hack of quality journalism. most internet journalism is, has not got the resources to be as, if you like, persuasive and be as trusted of information as you would like it to be. there's a problem now developing in the newspapers because their advertising model has collapsed, basically and, therefore, they're find being it more and more difficult. every week i

careers, the future of journalism, all of the stories dan has covered. he truly has been married and has done at starting with the civil rights movement, and i always say great stories make great journalists and people came out of world war ii i think he was by the civil rights movement by vietnam and watergate and we have all been lucky to cover those stories. so, to start out this book if you haven't read, dan has always said that he holds no punches and this is a throw punches book and the people that were absolutely infuriated by what he says. he doesn't hold back what he believes, and i know him well enough that it's a genuine article and the underlying theme in all of this he writes about how his father liked to repeat the winston churchill never give up, never, never. and if there is a story of dan it is never give up, never, never. and part of not giving up -- i want to start, we will talk a lot about the journalism but i want to talk about what i thought was one of the very special moments in this book. the end of the 44 years in cbs news when y

you've worked in journalism for more than 40 years. you had the joy of actually working in a place where the presses rolled and your work comes out on still probably wet sheets of paper. will there be newspapers 50 years down the road? yeah, i see newspapers. i see that people are going to still want to carry around something the same way they're going to carry around books. they're not going to read electronic books. there's something about-- you know, we like tactile things. will they be different? yes, they'll be very different. one, because advertising is going to move away from newspapers i think. it's not a very logical advertising medium anymore in a lot of respects. they'll change; they'll evolve. yeah, we'll still have newspapers. it's been great to have you here. thanks, good to be here. our guest has been journalist and author carl bernstein. thank you for joining us today on speaking freely. captioning provided by the first amendment center, funded by the freedom forum. captioning by lori at captionmax www.captionmax.com (f

[video clip] >> we were taking a walk of michigan avenue. we are going to dinner on the near north side. walter said "i have just been approached by a couple of agents and they want me to sign up with them. what do you think?" i said i think you better sign up because we will what you for other engagements. i would rather not negotiate with you directly. i would rather have your agent to negotiate with my agent and we will have a better relationship. he signed up. i did not know that he was going to be in a $4 million category. i knew he was going to become a famous public hero. [end video clip] >> what impact did the agent thing have on television? >> it was gigantic. he was recognized as one of the most recognizable people in the united states. they started negotiating contracts. walter cronkite's anger was when barbara walters became the milli

what journalism should really be about in the old days we did as well you know. we just decided the passion to question the status quo and the fear mongering of real broadcasts not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslim we were attacked by muslims we were attacked by sociopaths examples of absurdity taken to an extreme on t.v. news but what city what tell me is in danger of falling under cirilo as viewership on real mainstream media plummets the show adds insult to injury by portraying common news show behavior threatening the fabric of society no no no guarantee. amid critical reviews a t.v. show about the news more honest than real news show business is doing a better job than the news this and presenting news it's a complete flip around a lot of reporters and producers news anchors who look at this show should people watching it should be thinking it got us here what are they if you try and do it in the purest sense what your character does in this show it doesn't right when a fictional anchor fights for substance on the news to him or not he

he wanted real journalism.nd the rooney was a part of that. >> the baby-boom generation group with many world were to movies and with your research and experience, what did you learn about the correspondence and what the air men felt about them? >> they appreciated like marshall and i appreciated having the story told. their own stories and the fact checking i have heard from vietnam they appreciated asking why. >> one of the things the gis admired about the five correspondents that they were with them in the trenches. not everyday and to the extreme but 30 per i/o became so wildly popular is the press felt comfortable and he began to write wonderful profiles. hal boyle said he would write for the people who read ernie pyle over the shoulder of people reading the ernie pyle. [laughter] he was handicapped because the ap insisted on calling him herald. is unsecured the accounting professor. but finally it became hal boyle. >> he did not have the same amount of notoriety. what is the difference between the experie

[applause] >> i will talk briefly because i want to get martin and tom up here. i am afraid of what i might say. i do not want prejudice -- i am curious about what these guys are going to say about the same subject. i look around this room and see people have been watching this stuff as long or as -- or longer than i have. some campaigns have ups and downs like elevators. sometimes they can power through their problems. sometimes they are chilled or can really take on like vertically like a sikorski. hamilton used to make propellers. they still do. sometimes they just get really tired. thank you all for coming out. i have cherished this relationship with national journal. we are working on a new contract. anyway, nic

there is a new citizen journalism that is developing. we have all these things that are happening, and that is putting pressure on the quality of ordinary journalism because the advertising and business model of today's newspapers, today's print media is being shot through as advertising gravitates from the ordinary news media to the internet. and the question arises then, who is going to sponsor, who is going to pay for, who is going to be the person that underpins quality journalism? and i believe, therefore, that we've got to look not only at mechanisms by which we deal with abuses in the press, we've got to look at mechanisms by which we can enhance and incentivize good standards. now, the bbc found a way to do it, of course, in the 1940s when they introduced the license fee. perhaps that should be available for the internet and publications that go beyond broadcasting. but you cannot ignore the fact that the whole for the coverage of news now is intimately related to the development of the internet. and if standards are not there on

and i would say that's just a matter of good journalism. that's what good journalism is as opposed to the person who writes the column who says this is a terrible plot against the british state. the news piece should at least be within itself accurate, even if you've chosen to do that news piece, because it supports that point of view. there is a clear distinction between those two things. >> the examples you give in the last sentence of paragraph 14, if i can put it in these terms, visceral issues, just take one of them. take gay rights as an example. how do you separate out fact from opinion on that issue? >> well, i think it's -- it can be difficult to do that in that issue. i agree. on the other hand, i think there is a tone in which you can write and have that debate. now, frankly, on this issue, things have changed a huge amount in the 20 or 30 years i was in politics. so in the '80s, you've got a pretty prejudice way of writing about gay issues and gay rights and so on, later less so. but all i'm saying is that an issue like that, yo

. >> tom: the company behind fox television and "the wall street journal" could be the next big firm to make two companies from one. news corp is considering splitting in two. if it happens, news corp would join several other firms making breaking up the thing to do. kraft foods, conoco-phillips and mcgraw hill-- three companies that will soon be six, as they each separate their businesses into two different companies, a path news corp is now thinking about. for news corp, the split would put its newspapers, like "the wall street journal" and "new york post," into one company, and its so-called entertainment units-- fox television, cable and movies-- into another. >> this would shine a brighter light on the entertainment assets, which have a lot of good growth potential, both domestically and overseas. >> tom: a split like the one news corp chairman rupert murdoch confirms he is considering usually is seen as an effort to cleave apart businesses with different profit growth potentials. in this case, newspapers are seen as slower growing, compared to news corp's fox properties. the co

"the wall street journal" report. now maria bartiromo. >>> here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week on wall street. a new blow to major financial institutions in the united states and around the world. moody's issued a ratings downgrade of 15 major banks including five in the united states. they are morgan stanley, goldman sachs, citigroup and bank of america. the news could have been worse for morgan stanley. theback lobbied against a more severe downgrade. the ratings cuts will be passed on to customers. >>> after a two-day meeting this week the federal reserve announced it is extending so-called operation twist which is a program to buy long term bonds and keep interest rates low. the fed's move disappointed the markets which were hoping for a more decisive move. by thursday the dow jones industrial average plumbed more than 250 points. the markets rebounded friday. crude oil tumbled below $75 a barrel. the slowing global economy and decreased demand is pushing prices lower. that's translating

journalism." what's the difference? >> push journalism is the old days, which seem no longer to apply in the era of the internet, in which an editor, a gatekeeper, says, "here's the package which you need to know." all of that is ancient history now. instead, now, it's all driven by what the consumer is pulling. and if the consumer says, "i want ice cream all the time." and whether that ice cream is lindsay lohan, or the latest crime story, that's what's delivered. and as long as it's being pulled, that's what is being provided. so it's quite possible that in the u.s., the calculation was made that the crisis in europe and the head of italy would not be a cover that one could use. but that pet friendships would be the sort of thing that would fly off the newsstand. >> so the reader is determining what we get from the publication? >> on a minute by minute basis, stories that the reader's interested in immediately go to the top of the home page. there are actually pieces of software that give editor

great journalism can be practiced anywhere. we now have 500 reporters, editors, journalists that we pay full-time salaries, and we are a platform. you see, i think this is what we need to understand. we are two things, and i think more and more media operations are going to be two things, a journalistic enterprise that honors the best traditions of journalism and the platform that provides distribution to tens of thousands of people who otherwise who would not have had a voice. they can write or not write. they can take advantage of it or not take advantage of it. but many of them take advantage because it helps amplify their voices. it's also an addition platform. it's just amazing how many of our young bloggers who can be side by side with larry or well-known people get paid attention to, and they get book contracts and they find jobs. it's like a way now to become known. >> are you as optimistic and bullish? >> well, i think "the huffington post" is a great global platform but i worry about local journalism. it bothers me "t

, "the wall street journal report." now maria bartiromo. >> here's a look at what's making news. a grim and disappointing jobs report for the month of may. the economy created just 69,000 new jobs. well below expectations. the unemployment rate actually ticked up .1% to 8.2%. march and april numbers were revised downwards as well. this is the worst monthly number in a year. that helped push 10-year treasury yields to record elds yielding below 1.5%. more investors are guying government bonds which sends prices up and yields way downwn. it was a miserable may for the bulls on wall street. the dow suffering the worst month in two years falling about 6%. for the entire month, the dow had no back-to-back gains. for the week, the dow fell. mixed results for auto sales in the month of may as well. general motor sales up 11%. ford 13%. chrysler saw a gain up 30%. but still below expectations. toyota was up 87%. and shares of facebook hitting a new low this week. the stock fell below $27 a share thursday. after going public at

that's what passes for journalism. and that's what gets us to watch the ads for soap. >> what you're saying is that the political square is now a commercial enterprise, owned and operated for the benefit of the brand, cnn, fox, all of those, right? >> that's correct. >> how did it happen? how did we sell what belonged to everyone? >> by believing that what is, is what always has been and what should be. the notion that what goes on is actually made by people, changes through time, represents the deployment of political power. that notion has gone away. we think it's always been this way. people now watching these cnn and fox. they think this is how it works. they don't have a sense of history. the amnesia, which has been cultivated by journalism, by entertainment in this country, helps prevent people from saying, "wait a minute, that's the wrong path to be on." >> amnesia, forgetfulness? you say that they're cultivating forgetfulness? >> absolutely. >> deliberately? >> look at the way in which it -- the march toward wa
