What Was the Watergate Scandal?

6. A Continuing Investigation

Others weren't willing to let things slide, however. Investigators continued to work quietly behind the scenes, and journalists continued to use all of their skills to conduct independant investigations. Two of the most dogged reporters were the Washington Post's Bob Woodard and Carl Bernstein, who would later win a Pulitzer Prize for their work. They received much of their information from a mysterious figure known as Deep Throat to preserve his anonymity. This was later confirmed to be Mark Felt, who was an Associate Director of the FBI at the time.
