On this day, 52 years ago, May 7, 1973 (April 5, 1973 in the lunar calendar), the Washington Post became famous nationwide for its disclosure of the Watergate incident. On May 7, 1973, the Washington Post won the Pulitzer Prize for serving the public for its reporting of the Watergate investigation. The incident was caused by an attempt to install a bug at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in June 1972, and by April it had become a national scandal. The Post accepted the award, but the credit for this series of investigative reporting should go to two reporters in the capital's editorial office-29-year-old Carl Bernstein and 30-year-old Bob Woodward. The two young reporters were assigned to investigate the break-in of the Democratic Party office in Washington's Watergate Building and the five arrested suspects. At first, the case seemed like a regular theft case. When they continued to investigate based on an unconfirmed source known as Deep Throat, they discovered a Republican intelligence network, a secret fund, and a number of people with connections to administration officials.
