Washington Monthly's Charlie Peters: This is Your Life
Washington Monthly‘s founding editor, Charlie Peters, short and slightly hunched over with a shock of white, silken Washington hair, was a man of few words Thursday afternoon at the New America Foundation as he watched a documentary about his own life.
A little like showing up for your own funeral. But his reaction didn’t require words, really. It was all in his shoulders.
Sitting in the front row of a small packed room with a screen, his shoulders shook up and down in dramatic spasms as he laughed and laughed while reporters recalled what it was like to have him as their editor.
And it wasn’t always pretty.
The film, “How Washington Really Works: A film about a Man, a Magazine and the Media,” by Norman Kelley, chronicles the life and times of Peters and the reporters who worked under him.
