The journalists who took down Harvey Weinstein
Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the story that ignited the #MeToo movement
In January, in a court in Manhattan, Harvey Weinstein will stand trial for the rape and sexual assault of two women. The movie producer denies the charges - just as he has denied allegations by more than 80 other women.
Weinstein鈥檚 reckoning has come about largely because of the diligence of two journalists at The New York Times. Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey鈥檚 investigation in 2017 triggered not only Weinstein鈥檚 downfall but ignited the global #MeToo movement. Their reporting won them the Pulitzer Prize and they have now told their story in a new book, She Said.
