As a central figure in one of investigative journalism's great successes, the Watergate expose, Mr. Dean brought a unique historical perspective on government secrecy and the state of investigative journalism, then and now. He spoke to a standing room only crowd of more than 225 people at the Brandeis University Faculty Club.
We were honored to have him help us celebrate the naming of the Elaine and Gerald Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism while discussing how well American investigative reporting meets its constitutional goal of keeping our citizenry informed and democracy safe.
