Watergate backstory
The Watergate scandal has been grandiloquently called ‘the most daring and exciting story in the history of American journalism’. The popular narrative about the scandal is that the press – notably two young and tireless reporters for The Washington Post – exposed the wrongdoing that brought down Richard Nixon’s corrupt presidency. That interpretation has maintained impressive appeal among journalists in the more than 50 years since Nixon’s resig…
Watergate at 50
The years since the 1972 break-in at the Watergate complex in Washington, DC, have solidified the dominant popular narrative about the scandal that toppled Richard Nixon’s presidency. The dominant narrative revolves around the claim—ever appealing and reassuring to journalists—that investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein for the Washington Post uncovered the crimes that forced Nixon’s resignation in August 1974. This essay desc…
Misfires and Surprises
The 2020 elections in the United States brought another round of embarrassment to leading polling organizations whose the final preelection surveys underestimated popular support for President Donald Trump and many down-ticket Republicans. While not necessarily a debacle, the 2020 outcome marked the sixth polling surprise of some variety in the past seven presidential elections. Despite its unenviable recent record, election polling is hardly doo…

The Moral Foundations of Civil Society
Wilhelm Roepke may have been the soundest economist of the twentieth century. He understood the limitations as well as the strengths of his discipline. Economists are often tempted to take the easy way out, by denying reality to aspects of human existence and reducing them to arbitrary and subjective tastes and preferences. Roepke never does this, and this is his strength. He realizes that all of these are legitimate aspects of human experience w…
The Year That Defined American Journalism
The Year that Defined American Journalism explores the succession of remarkable and decisive moments in American journalism during 1897 – a year of significant transition that helped redefine the profession and shape its modern contours. This defining year featured a momentous clash of paradigms pitting the activism of William Randolph Hearst's participatory 'journalism of action' against the detached, fact-based antithesis of activist journalism…
Strange Bedfellows
1. IntroductionThroughout the 1950s small groups of anti-conformists from Greenwich Village, New York City left the east coast and relocated to the North Beach area of San Francisco. Influenced by the writings of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, The Beats often chose to settle in rundown neighborhoods that had been in decline since the Depression called The Haight. By the summer of 1967 it was not the cheap rent that lured m…
Yellow Journalism
Turn to the editorial page of any American daily newspaper. If that paper has covered a controversial issue recently, you will likely find a letter complaining about the paper's sensa-tionalistic “yellow journalism.” How did that term, coined in 1897 to deride the mass circulation dailies of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, become a commonplace of popular press criticism? What does it mean to call a newspaper “yellow,” and why has tha…
