“The Journalist Who Got Scooped,” this week’s episode of “Such a Match!,” begins in 1954 with 23-year-old Joanne, a young reporter at the Jewish Community Bulletin (this publication’s former name).

She goes on assignment to write about the Western States Jewish Youth Council conference, a story that would change everything for Joanne. There, she meets Bernie, a handsome and charming 29-year-old PhD student at Stanford. Hear the enduring love story of Joanne and Bernie, together for 70 years and counting.
