The presidents men review

 The presidents men is a key movie that all beginner journalist should be able to watch. The movie teaches future journalist to be persistent to not give up. Persistence could one get the key essential information in order to complete the story. The movie also teaches a journalist to be very patient in a scene we see how both journalist Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein sat in the library for hours trying to make a connection. Also you have to take initiative in every story that you write because you can not wait in order to get achieved by the chief because you could be wasting precious time, time that could be used for investigating. Furthermore a journalist should always keep his notepad with him at all times and present himself/herself as a journalist. The movie also teaches a young journalist about loyalty and to always keep your sources, if they do not want to be known, secretive.
