Relevance to the journalistic profession is not necessarily high on the list, but recently one financial services firm chose to feed a group of industry scribes at a particularly poignant location.
The restaurant was not what you would call special and it was really the name that made it a most appropriate venue.
It was a pub called the Nixon Hotel.
Of course journalistic icons Bob Woodward and Karl Bernstein became household names with their reporting of the Watergate scandal that eventually brought down the Nixon administration.
So revered is their feat in the field of journalism, this scribe had to study the movie portraying their reportage All the President’s Men as part of his diploma.
Fortunately for the firm in question, the lunch was not as sensational, in a reporting sense, as the Watergate affair and no corporations or administrations were brought down that afternoon.
