Baku – APA. Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee has died at the age of 93.
Bradlee was a flamboyant hard talking journalist who ran the paper’s newsroom when it helped topple President Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal, APA reports citing Euronews.
His guiding of young reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they traced a 1972 burglary at Democratic Party HQ right back to Nixon has been celebrated by journalists around the world.
The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Price for the coverage.
As executive editor from 1968 until 1991, Bradlee became one of the most important figures in Washington as well as part of journalism history.
