Guests:
Lowell Bergman: A producer/correspondent for FRONTLINE. Bergman is also the Reva and David Logan Distinguished Professor of Investigative Reporting at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley, where he has taught a seminar dedicated to investigative reporting for more than 15 years.
Bergman's career spans nearly four decades, beginning the late 1960s when he worked for a weekly newspaper in San Diego, as a freelancer for Ramparts Magazine and then as an editor of Rolling Stone. In 1976, he was part of a group of reporters who investigated the assassination of Don Bolles, a reporter for The Arizona Republic, and in 1977 he was a co-founder of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
In 1983, Bergman joined CBS News as a producer for the weekly news magazine 60 Minutes, where over the course of 14 years he produced more than 50 stories on subjects ranging from organized crime, international arms and drug trafficking to terrorism and corporate crime. The story of his investigation of the tobacco industry for 60 Minutes was chronicled in the Academy Award-nominated feature film The Insider.
