Woodward and Bernstein coming to Walnut Creek
By Lisa Vorderbrueggen
Friday, January 25th, 2008 at 5:23 pm in 2008 presidential election, Political events.
A highly placed source has confirmed that Pulitzer-prize winning journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein will appear Nov. 17 in Walnut Creek as part of the 2008-2009 Lesher Speaker Series: Newsmakers.
Woodward and Bernstein, best known for their work at the Washington Post covering the Watergate scandal and President Richard Nixon, have also written multiple books. And Bernstein is currently one of CNN’s presidential primary political consultants.
The men will appear together on stage and answer questions from the audience during the event, which will be held at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
I’ll be the moderator. (It’s one of my favorite perks of this job.)
The Lesher Foundation and the Contra Costa Times, partners in the Newsmaker series, also plan to bring high school journalists to meet the famous pair.
The Lesher Foundation will unveil this spring its full list of speakers in the “Newsmakers” series and tickets will go on sale. Check out www.lesherspeakerseries.org in May or June for details.
As for that highly placed source, that’s for me to know and you to find out.
Oh, all right, it was Steve Lesher.
He helps run the Lesher Foundation and is the grandson of the late Dean Lesher.
