His visits to IU have included engagements with students and faculty at the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and IU’s Cinemas, which hosted a showing of “ All the President's Men” to celebrate Bernstein on the 50th anniversary of the book’s release. 

And last week, Bernstein visited the Maurer School of Law, where he sat down with associate dean Steve Sanders to discuss the role of the news media and contextualize critical issues of law and democracy.
