Nobody seems to have a neutral opinion about journalists, particularly now. They’re looked up to as a “last best hope for the republic” or denounced as “enemies of the people”—or something in between. Decide for yourself when you get some first-hand insights into today’s reporters as some of the best of the best discuss life in the trenches.
FEATURED JOURNALISTS
Cokie and Steve Roberts
If you want to find how Washington really works, you can poll all the newspaper and network reporters on the Hill and the White House, or spend an evening with Steve and Cokie Roberts. These Washington veterans have seen it all. Cokie Roberts, political commentator for ABC News and a senior news analyst for National Public Radio has spent more than 40 years in broadcasting. In 2008 the Library of Congress named her a “Living Legend.” Steve Roberts has been a journalist for almost 50 years, covering some of the major events of his time, from the antiwar movement and student revolts of the 60s and 70s to President Reagan's historic trip to Moscow in 1988 and 12 presidential election campaigns.
Cokie’s book Capital Dames: The Civil War and the Women of Washington, 1848-1868 (Harper) and Steve’s book Every End of This Earth: 13 Families and the New Lives They Made in America (Harper) are available for sale and signing.
