(AP Photo/File)Still no word from the White House Correspondents’ Association on who’s headlining the group’s once star-studded annual dinner, but at least there are some recognizable names on the lineup. Legendary Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein will be presenting journalism awards and giving brief remarks at the April 29 soiree. The dinner’s organizers are framing the low-glitz tone of this year’s dinner as a triumphant re-focus on what the dinner was always supposed to be about. “Having Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein at the dinner exemplifies everything our event is about — celebrating the First Amendment and highlighting really good journalism,” said WHCA president Jeff Mason.
