marcus brauchli is the editor of "the washington post," was the editor of the washington journal. you have their buy yoes owes. ken i have known for 30 years. he also has written ten books. the latest of which is "googled." but every one of these books has really dealt with communications and people who are changing the nature of communications. want to start with a little historical overview to get this thing started, which is it's been about 50 years since the advent of the digital age and its impact on content. for the first 25 years of that period in the digital age, the format of the content in dirgitl form was discussion. it was the early days of the internet with the bulletin board systems and then eventually online services with the well and leading up to consumable like aol in which people formed communities and were on chat rooms and bulletin boards and discussion groups and everything was shared socially in terms of information and discussion. in approximately 1995 with the advent of the mosaic browser and other things, there was a dramatic shift in the way the internet

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

and i think it's very hard -- at one point, and i know this was true of "the washington post," the argument was made that local is the new king and we all have to be local. then you start getting patch and huffington post and other things. and everyone can blog. suddenly, it doesn't necessarily mean that local is going to be the new king on the block. so i think a lot of medium-sized newspapers are going to be gone in five years. and probably a lot of radio stations as well. they don't do newspaper anymore any way. >> i agree that i think the train that i lost earlier, i was talking about consolidation. ken is right. there will be consolidation in the business. there are more players than there needs to be. but i don't agree that this is terrible for the democracy. i don't think it's great if people are only listening to ideas they already believe in. i'm not sure that it wasn't always that way before about half a century ago. in the history of american journalism, it was from 1950 to 2000 when everything centralized and newspapers became more centrist and the prized objectivity went for lo

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

and friday's washington post headline, media playing, what, romney uses cloak to hide wealth.nd a long complicated story about romney's money and this is going to be the theme for the next seven months is not only is romney out of touch, but hiding his assets. >> are the media helping that narrative that the president is trying to paint? >> well, i think that the-- those in the media who favor barack obama would clearly like to have rick santorum stick around longer so that we can broaden the gender gap between those who favor, or women who favor brm versus those who favor barack obama. 18 points according to the latest poll. look, goodbye rick, it's time to go. most people feel that, whether or not they're republican or conservative and that's what you're hearing in the press. >> in "the washington post," every day that romney has to deal with santorum is another day when he can't begin his recovery from the riggers of the primary campaign. everything romney needs to do from raising money to raising his positives, is complicated by santorum's gnat-like irritation. >> get out

that is what you are hearing in the press. >> jon: here is sample of the "washington post."y day that romney has to deal with santorum is another day that -- everything he needs to do to raising money and raising his positives is complicated by santorum math like irritation. >> get off. this primary has gone on this long for two reasons, super pac and gone on because of the media. the media has loved this. they have something interesting to talk about. so the reality they are going to move on and talk the next couple weeks about the vice presidency. in the meanwhile, it's entirely appropriate for the media to scrutinize, romney is unpopularity with women and middle-class voters and fact he hasn't released the details of financial holding in companies that ship jobs overseas. that is the role. >> i'm going to vetting candidates. think i he should be investigated but they didn't do it four years ago and they are not going to do it again. >> they set them up this way to mirror what happened on the democratic side. in hillary clinton they liked the attention given to that. is th

this is the style section of "the washington post." you can see they captured it's making its way over the washington monument in in dc. it did several laps with thousands of spectators at capitol hill, all over washington stopping what they were doing to watch the discovery shuttle make its way to washington, d.c. it will be housed at one of the smithsonian's here in washington. the last flight for the discovery shuttle. some quick international headlines for you.

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

this is you know, a huge undertaking of courage on the part of "the washington post." >> you look at the stock had just gone public and it was in the toilet because of the challenge. >> the daily attacks. >> could i ask you to do something for me just an exercise. you were 29 years old when this happened, you stayed in the news business, you got lots more experience, you are certainly aware of the climate, of the existing political climate, the existing news climate. you have a long distinguished journalistic career. it's a beautiful day out there and marcus has the staff of "the washington post" home, they are gone, the phone call has come in that says there has been a break-in. and you two are the only people on earth who can cover it. what do you do today? tell me today, given everything you know, what are you going to do, what's your first thing you're going to do, what's the next thing you're going to do? you. >> well, i mean -- >> are you going to post the police report? >> be smarter and more organized and quite frankly, work harder and more focused on it. but you know, maybe

well guess what's been leaked to the washington post by anonymous u.s. officials just read the headline cia seeks new out already to expand yemen drone campaign that's right according to these officials the cia wants the authority to launch signature strikes signature strikes means that they don't have to know the identities of those who could be killed but they can hit the targets based solely on intelligence which indicates patterns of suspicious behavior and these types of strikes are already employed in pakistan and the targets there have been funeral ceremonies the victims of turned out to be civilians at times and the president chose not to give the go ahead for this policy in yemen a year ago so it's still a big if as to whether or not this time around might be different but yes or no that raises a lot of questions so joining me from our studio in new york is michael hastings rolling stone contributing editor and author of the book the operators the wild and terrifying inside story of america's war in afghanistan michael thanks for joining us toni

the "the washington post" poll today reflected that. >> laura: the "the washington post" poll had a lot of interesting information including monica a couple of data points that were actually pretty good for romney, handling of the economy. handling of deficit. even handling of the energy challenges facing our nation. he actually trumps obama in those categories. he definitely has a divide when it comes to likability. women's issues and so forth. how does he build that divide today. >> he has got two challenges, laura, mitt romney, first of all he has got to make sure he stays focus on making his campaign about barack obama and his record. you mentioned those "the washington post" poll numbers on the economy, on unemployment. on gas prices on record deficits and record debt, if he keeps the focus on that as well as socialized medicine and obama care which remains highly unpopular, he will actually be able to surmount a lot of the obstacles that we just talked about here in terms of likability and so on. the other part of mitt romney's challenge is it's not enough to tear the other guy do

the "washington post" used to call itself the first draft of history. you were to read the "washington post," it was the first draft of history. now it's the first draft of the armed services committee for the pentagon. but once upon a time, they had that aspiration. i tell my students to get them out of their writer's block, get in your ben hecht mode, sit down and pretend you've got a deadline tomorrow morning. there is something about journalism and it is of course color and narrative and story, as well. but historians need to inhale in deep drafts, i think, to enliven their work and to make it accessible to a wider than academic public. on the other hand, i think that there are things journalists particularly broadcast journalists, i won't exempt the writing press entirely, but i would certainly say this country eek is primarily in that broadcast journalists, who i think can learn something from historians and indeed from their own tradition of getting it right, of investigative journalism, of finding out what actually happened. and of defining obje

"washington post" opinion writer and msnbc political analyst, e.j.e, whose a nor fellow at the brookings institution. e.j., i want to play for you something romney said last week, echoing a bill o'reilly cheerleading thing about the war on religion, which he assigns to president obama. let's listen to that. >> well, i think, i think there is in this country a war on religion. i think there is a desire to establish a religion in america known as secularism. and i know that based upon reports, the obama administration gave this a lot of thought. a lot of discussion. >> e.j., as our senior religion analyst here, here we've moved beyond any suggestion that the president is a muslim. the only thing that polls worse among voters in terms of what makes them uncomfortable in a candidate religiously than muslim is being an atheist or an agnost agnostic, in this country where we claim to have no religious test, you must pass the religious test, that you believe in some version of religion, preferably christianity, according to all the polls. so here's romney s

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 t

an ab c-"washington post" palm poll found a 19% -- gender gap of women favoring obama over romney. he is forced farther to the right, having to re-litigating abortion and contraception. >> does this help close the gap? >> i think so. moving beyond a primary where he was contested by a cultural conservative, like rick santorum, and romney did either fill obliged to or out of conviction or terrell's respond and start to discuss these matters -- make no mistake about this -- in 2004, among married voters with children, george w. bush beat john kerry it -- only 28% of them in the electorate -- by 19%. john kerry, among other married voters without -- that is an important constituency to galvanize and turned out if you are a republican. >> let's talk about the campaign ads and rick santorum. >> miracle after merrill. -- miracle after miracle. >> what did santorum said about mitt romney as announced the suspension of his campaign? nothing, not a word. what romney nonetheless considered santorum as his running mate? >> i am not taking anybody off the list. i don't have a list yet. i canno

"the washington post" showed favor ability 20 points lower than president obama, and romney ended with this comment yesterday, essentially saying you have to -- don't just like me, believe in me. i want to play this to you. >> this november we'll face a defining position. our choice will not be one of party or personality. this election will be about principle. >> to me, a very sober mitt romney. we heard all along from mitt romney, believe in america, believe in this optimistic that we're in the dark ages under president obama. he seems to be shifting to this sob sober, i know what i'm doing, let me get my hands on washington. does that message resonate with mitt romney? can he be the sober candidate? >> mitt talks about you can't run from his record, that's his problem actually. he can't run from the positions he has held. that's going to be the biggest thing around mitt romney's neck. number two, you don't have to win the base on either side in this cl this, democrats are voting democratic, republicans are voting republican. you're fighting over a thin slice in the middle, and the m

there is a basis for this statistic, however -- an abc news-"washington post" poll found a 19% gendergap of women favoring obama over romney. that is a lot of ground make up eecially in an atmosphere where he has been forced for t -- farther to the right and having to litigate abortion and contraception. >> does the gift handed to republicans this week help close the gap mark? >> ihink so. i think that moving beyond a primary where he was contested by a cultural conservative like rick santorum romney felt obliged to respond an discuss these matter make no mistake about this -- in 2004 among married vters with chdren george w w. bush beat john kerry -- and there is only 28% of that in the electric -- by 19% bitohn kerry among voters were not married or were married with no children got a majority. that is an importantnt constituency to energize and at gagalvanize if you are a republican. we gotta sell the car. where would we even start? get the car. hi howard. get in. hi, good to see you. start with an actual written offer when selling your car, no strings attached. carmax. start here.

i was just going to say the reaction to this washington post post piece was a real -- "washington post" piece was showing the battle is going to unfold in the weeks ahead. you know, as you point out this wasn't in "the washington post" print edition until this morning but it was posted yesterday. and the obama campaign already had a quite extensive response to it. they had tweets from the campaign manager, jim mecina, and from the official@-- official @barackobama. very opportunistic, unfair campaigns going at him. host: one asks evan thomas, what are the sales like for the book and then the next is, enjoy the sales. guest: it's good. the first one got up i think in the top five or something of ebooks. i don't know what the overall sales . for ebooks it's up there and i think that's happening in this case. mike, do you have anything more recent on this? guest: yeah. what we're finding in this crazy news cyclone, as we call it, where there's five, 10 stories a day which is great for politico, but what we're finding is people like the opportunity to hit pause, to see where we've been, wh

one in the "new york times", one in the washington post his relationship with the church on his -- i think it was helpful at flushing out who he is. i do agree with bill that simply talking about the lit urgy of a religion, juxta possing that with a candidate and i think it's infaur and it does provoke this sort of i think religious intensity and this religious combativeness that we would be better off without. >> in a sense, i think it's parallel to john f. kennedy, the first catholic who had a serious shot. there's more focus on catholic simple and his relation. orrin hatch has been a good public servant wrsht harry reid has been a good public servant. they're both mormons. there's no reason mitt romney can't be a good president. >> have you gotten much pushback on this particular piece? >> we got some pushback notably. we also if you read the comment section of the piece had mormons saying this is a great piece. i'm going to use it in my sermon on sunday. >> i tease this at the top, but among the many topics chord in the interview that mitt and ann romney did with diane sawyer, wa

(laughter) thank you washington post. your reporting was helpful but useless.ughter) now unfortunately, the lady public didn't respond to mitt reverse takedown of obama until there was a cable news miracle. when democratic campaign strategist hillary rosen criticized stay at home mother of five ann romney. >> what you have is mitt romney running around the country saying well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues. and when i listen to my wife, that's what i am hearing. guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. did she put her foot in obama's mouth. excuse me t campaign strategist rosen, you know what is actually never worked a day in its life? attacking motherhood. now folks, full disclosure, i have a personal stake in this issue. because i have a mom. my mom. which makes me half mom on my mom's side.
