Carl Milton Bernstein, born on February 14, 1944, is a renowned American investigative journalist and author. During his early years as a young reporter for The Washington Post in 1972, Bernstein was paired with Bob Woodward, and together they conducted the majority of the original news reporting on the Watergate scandal.
Their groundbreaking work led to a series of government investigations and ultimately resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Gene Roberts, a prominent figure in journalism, described the collaboration between Woodward and Bernstein as "maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time".
Since the Watergate era, Bernstein's career has continued to focus on the theme of power and its abuse, through books, magazine articles, and television reporting. He has also engaged in opinion commentary and has written or co-authored seven books.
Some of his notable works include "All the President's Men", "The Final Days", and "The Secret Man", co-authored with Bob Woodward; "His Holiness: John Paul II and the History of Our Time", co-authored with Marco Politi; "Loyalties"; "A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton"; and "Chasing History", a memoir about his early years in journalism.
Furthermore, Bernstein is a regular political commentator on CNN, sharing his insights and expertise with a wide audience.
