I really loved the way that the news-gathering aspects were handled in this movie. As a fellow news writer, I can say that the need to run everything by an editor, double-check quotes and sources, and find delicate ways to handle delicate subjects (like, say, my meth-dealing landlord) was all accurately depicted.

| + | The movie provides an in depth insight into what life as a reporter could be like. The movie captures the essence of Bernstein and Woodward's constant attempts to gather information and uncover the truth. The movie accurately portrays Bernstein and Woodward’s sources, the depiction of the people in the scandal, and the context of the whole situation. The actual footage from Nixon’s inauguration also adds to the historical accuracy of the film. The film also suggests the consequences of publishing factual and questionable articles and what effect they would have on a newspaper firm, the general public, and even the fate of the Presidency. –James Drury | ||
