1) What does Bob Woodward have to do to get information about the Watergate break in?
-Woodward has to call people that are connected with or know about the break in. Also interview people that either on the phone or in person. Then have to prove that the information is true.
2) How difficult do you think it was to get information about a story BEFORE the internet? What would reporters have to do instead?
-It was really difficult because they had to do interviews with people, if the person didn't want to be interviewed then they can't do it. Also write down everything, well notes, when in an interview. Finally get it approved by the editor.
3) Why did Bob Woodward have to be careful about not being followed when he met with Deep Throat?
-Woodward was in danger, we learned this later with in the movie. If he would have been caught, he would have been killed.
4) When Carl Berstein (Dustin Hoffman) gives Woodward the name Kenneth H. Dahlberg what does Woodward have to use to find a phone number for Dahlberg?
-
5) The story of Dahlberg's check ending up in the account of a Watergate burglar ends up being on the front page but it is "below the fold." What does that mean?

8) Why do you think they need so many people to confirm information?
-They need to get so many people to confirm the information because they don't know if the information is true or not. If the person that gave the information was lying, then Woodward would have been sued or lose his job.
9) Why do you think people keep saying how much they "love this country" as they are nervous and unsure about whether to publish the stories?
-They were probably scared if someone from the country would come after them and do harm against them or their family.

-In the end of the film both reporters was writing the full story of their report. At the same time Nixon was on television being announced as president for his second term.
