In 1877, Stilson Hutchins founded the first daily Democratic newspaper in the nation's capital - The Washington Post. Today, the Post has a reputation for agressive investigative reporting, as well as being the nation's leader for coverage of federal government and national politics. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, two of many outstanding reporters for the Post, won Pulitzers for their coverage of Watergate. The Washington Post rivals the New York Times as the nation's most important newspaper.
