[cf Jeet Heer's excellent column - from Romenesko]

Hersh, Woodward called best reporters of their generation <http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/showcase/cl-ca-shaw16may16.column>

Los Angeles Times By David Shaw.

"Many reporters came of age at a time when journalism was seen as a calling and an obligation, not a steppingstone to fame and fortune," he writes. "But the work of [Seymour] Hersh and [Bob] Woodward stands out, all the more so in a media climate that has spawned of late not only the three notorious serial liars...but many more journalists whose sins are misdemeanors, not felonies, sins of omission rather than commission."
