Next week marks the 40th anniversary of Watergate, the series of investigations that led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon and altered American journalism. Below are some events, as well as fascinating readings, that commemorate the unveiling of the political scandal:

• Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two reporters who uncovered the scandal under the Nixon administration, have their first double byline on The Post’s Outlook section since their collaboration in the Watergate investigation.

• The Post’s former Executive Editor Leonard Downie, Jr. writes about the state of investigative journalism after Watergate.

• Bernstein and Woodward will also sit with Bob Schieffer Sunday morning on Face the Nation.

• The Post will be hosting a live online discussion with the two reporters and other key players of Watergate this Monday, June 11, 6:15 p.m.

• The Watergate Gallery will showcase Laurie Munn’s portrait paintings of the scandal’s major players. The exhibit’s opening reception will be held Saturday, June 16, 5 – 7 p.m.
