>> yeah. >> which is new for "the washington post." >> right. "the washington post" used to be in two years. we consolidated into one. >> the digital and print. >> correct. >> is it the same people? >> many cases more and more it is. and it has to be. the fact is there are some people still writing long-form projects that will appear over two-full print pages over months, but they are working closely with teams of producers and multimedia people think about what kind of other content we can pull into it so when it does launch, it's a vital and exciting experience. an example, a couple summers ago we did a big project called "top secret america." they looked at the creation of this secret national security apparatus since 9/11. we spent nearly two years on that. when we launched it, we had ten million page views. that was people coming in and having a different experience to the new form issue than people would have had had before. you could go into our data base and if you were in montana, you could go into our data base and find out there had be

at "the washington post" in the last six months, we developed "washington post" social reader which takes not just "washington post" content but content from other sources. it puts the content up in front of audiences that they then read. as they read, their reads are s seeing what they read. if i know that don gram read an article, i'm curious to know what he's reading so i can talk to him about it. and the conversation is very different than the interaction of going to a newspaper or going to a website and reading the article. i'm more interested in what my friends are reading and talking about than i am just being told. >> if used to be traditional editors and anchors of the news media were the gate keepers. what you're saying is that in the future, your circle of your social network will be the gate keepers for you to say, hey, this new album by coldplay is really cool or this new story is really good or whatever. >> it's not the future. i guess i should say this is now. if you talk to people to a large swath of the population, people that advertisers care about and people we want to

for decades after watergate, the two "washington post" reporters recount what happened, how they uncovered the scandal that led to the resignation of president nixon. carl bernstein and john woodward spoke at a news conference here in washington. this is about 90 minutes. >>> hi. i'm david boardman, executive editor of the seattle times and incoming vice president of as & e. every profession has its totemic event that inspires succeeding generations. and in american journalism, it was of course watergate. as professor mike shutsen of columbia puts it, the coverage of watergate altered the map of journalism and led to the reinvigoration of muck making. investigative journal had gone dorm ant. that all changed beginningjune of 1972 as two young reporters, one a clean cut, christian college midwesterner just two years out of the navy, the other a long-haired, chain smoking college dropout from silver spring maryland began with a fairly routine night cop story and turned it into what stands still today as the high water mark of american journalism. in fact, i'm confident in saying that this si

it was a better newspaper than the washington post at the time. this was 1960 and the beginning of the kennedy years. what did they see in a 16-year-old? i know there are always-- there's always room for copy boys and rewrite kids. i could type. actually it's really true. the smartest thing i ever did in my life is, i got sick of taking shop with the boys, so i took typing with the girls. and... [laughing] that opened it up, huh? that's right. no, actually, i think they did see some--some talent that i had. and one of the great things about the star was, they nurtured young people. and even though i was a few years younger than the next youngest, they let me cover things gradually, and i became a dictationist, meaning that i sat with a headset on and took the dictation of reporters calling in their stories, including david broder's story from dallas. you have to talk about that. i remember it indelibly. i mean, david dictated: "two priests walked out of dallas memorial parkland hospital at 2:34 p.m. today and announced, the president is dead." you

here is "the washington post." host: that is "the washington post" with that story. they're doing 82-day series yesterday and today. -- a 2-day series yesterday and today. it takes a look. it ran yesterday and then again today in "the washington post." we continue to get your take on gsa, a secret service, and washington culture. we go on to texas. caller: i am for obama in texas. actually, this whole situation. these people really make me very angry. i think they should be prosecuted. these people are stealing $800,000 of the taxpayer money. they cannot go to jail. but if you let a homeless person steele $50 because he needs to feed himself, they get 10 to 20 years. they feel entitled to use taxpayer money however way they want to. we need oversight so this will not take place. these people need to be supervised. a smaller government will not do. a smaller government leaves and no watchdog to watch the people who steal the taxpayer money. i do not know why it people be grudged the president and his wife. i think the only reason they are is because our president is af

joining me to talk more about this is mike wise, a columnist with the washington post. it's great to have you here. as you likely know, there has been a lawsuit filed against the ncaa. they want the students who have the money making sport to get at least a percentage of the income. what do you think? >> as big as the nfl players suit against the nfl for harmful plain injuries might be, this could be as sweeping if it comes to fruition. the former player of the year from ucla was enlisted essentially as the lead plaintiff in this suit and which now includes oscar robertson and bill russell. they're saying basically money has been made off their images for video games, memorabilia and things down the road. personally i've always thought this. syracuse university is a cash register and it fills the athletic coffers of that university and there's no reason why a player that plays on those teams should not profit. it's a special athlete. it's not just a regular student who goes to school. >> so you're okay with the idea that the athletes who play in the money making sports w

and i see "the washington post" did a breakdown of the president and they did a fact check, and did a fact check on the president's allegations and found routinely that he is lying, he's distorting the truth about what the republicans are presenting, i'd like to see more media outlets take the president to task and question his hysteria. >> jon: i think that sally. >> i'll take that, paul ryan didn't come out and say that the president the president misrepresented at all. i'd like to see more discussion in the media about facts, as opposed to just the-- and the fact for instance, that paul ryan wants to cut spending and helps working class, middle class poor and seniors and give that entirely to billionaires and millionaires and-- >> that's not true. >> the point is that what's frustrating i think of the media coverage of all of it increasingly through the election we're going to be spinning and spinning, let's put this on the table and credible people have done this and want to talk about the numbers and that's what they say. >> then let's talk about the president's challenge to the

debate becomes public there's a very specific reason when these leaks happen to place like the washington post has a very specific reason that they're having well let's talk about the fact that things like this get lead to the washington post you know on one hand you have for example the a.c.l.u. which has been trying to submit a four year request to try to get information from the government especially when it came to the drone strike that took out a locket and their response was well we can't confirm or deny the existence of our drone program and so we can't talk about it in court but why is it ok to leak things like this so they can have this giant headline on the washington post. yeah when you start covering it and when i started looking into destro an issue in detail you do enter into what i called in the story the sort of coffee world where we're talking about a secret program that everyone knows about certainly it's not secret to people in pakistan or people in yemen but the it but it's most secret to the american public it's only used at specific times by government officials only talk

he writes for the "washington post." turning to another issue you were writing about earlier on your blog, the president in this case supporting republicans and reed nominating a republican member of the nuclear regulatory commission. what's this story about? >> this is a very interesting story. you may recall back in december that some disagreements between the five members of the nuclear regulatory commission boiled to the surface when they had gone to the white house chief of staff to complain about the democratic chairman, gresry jazzco-and said he miss treated female employees and kept them out of the loop on policy decisions and including decisions related to yucca mountain. he so happens to be a former aid to harry reid, another democratic lawmaker and has the majority leader's full support. there was a dramatic house oversight and government reform hearing in mid-december where the five commissioners were called before the committee and said what the heck is going on? the four commissioners, two republicans and tw

the next day there was an editorial in "the washington post" blasting or at least criticizing the civil rights groups for not standing up for the philadelphia plan because of pressure from the aflcio. at which point, the leadership of the civil rights, particularly joe rowe, as i recall, went into action at the house and killed the appropriations rider. thereafter the philadelphia plan was challenged in federal district court in philadelphia, i think it was, and then up through the third circuit. we prevailed. in those days you couldn't lose on the left side of any civil rights issue. >> what role did arthur fletcher, assistant secretary, play? >> that's a fair question. i gave the philadelphia plan rationale to art fletcher, who was the assistant secretary for the office of federal contract compliance. art was an african-american, lieutenant-governor candidate as i recall in kansas, republican, but very interested in doing all that he could to enhance the republican party's image in civil rights, particularly in light of the southern strategy in the '68 election. i think that was part

i had really good translators, some of whom worked for the "washington post." the most important translator was named david kim, who is a friend of his and whose family befriended him in southern california. when he lived in a suburb of los angeles. david kim offered to be a translator. he is now at northwestern law school and is incredibly smart. he is very fluent in english, and speaks korean with his parents. he's a good friend. he did all the translating in southern california. this is where he opened up to me. he was working for "liberty in north korea," a human right's group which helped bring shin to the united states in 2009. he was an unpaid volunteer. they gave him housing and he lived there. between 12 and 25 people lived in that house, most younger than him. >> how old is he today? >> he is 29. >> you have a lot of torture stories. just so people see how far it went, the story about him being put over the flame. >> when he was 13, he was taken to an underground prison. he was taken to ask about the escape plans. he didn't have a good answer. he was v

"the washington post", no fan of suffrage, supported their claim by equating the suffragists to any other citizen -- male or female. and, likewise, in 1932, when veterans of world war i came to washington seeking immediate payment of what they considered their just compensation for serving the country during world war i, the march that became known as the bonus march, when they came in 1932, they were tolerated. they were treated with kindness, president hoover arranged for the army to give them tents, a place to camp, opened up a navy hospital for them to be treated. the superintendent of police at that time actually had the distinct and somewhat strange role of being both the police chief of washington and the treasurer of the group behind the bonus march. so he was simultaneously in charge of policing them and making sure that their financial arrangements stayed on the up and up. so there grew to be a more common acceptance of the idea the political protest was something that was acceptable, and there were small gains from each of the demonstrations and direct policy turns. but one of

two different very very different activities the thing that's important about this op ed in the washington post today is not with the op that says all sorts of things that are contestable it could be argued with it's the fact that the iranian foreign minister thought it worth putting an operate for right it's a fact that he's willing to engage beyond the closed room of the negotiations will take place that's held me that he has maybe a little more flexibility to negotiate and he has had in the past written for the iranian foreign ministry and that's a positive sign no matter what the substance of the operate is and yet like i said i feel like you know the washington post kind of tried to hide it and it's not something that's really been making news today and you know it really is an interesting development christopher thank you so much for joining us tonight pleasure. also to come tonight i'll tell you how states are giving money to companies to be more business friendly and the money is coming straight out of your paycheck then we're going to have our weekly financial check up with the rain th
