Title: She Said Pdf Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters who broke the news of Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and abuse for the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the thrilling untold story of their investigation and its consequences for the #MeToo movement
For many years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein’s treatment of women. Rumors of wrongdoing had long circulated. But in 2017, when Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey began their investigation into the prominent Hollywood producer for the New York Times, his name was still synonymous with power. During months of confidential interviews with top actresses, former Weinstein employees, and other sources, many disturbing and long-buried allegations were unearthed, and a web of onerous secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements was revealed. These shadowy settlements had long been used to hide sexual harassment and abuse, but with a breakthrough reporting technique Kantor and Twohey helped to expose it. But Weinstein had evaded scrutiny in the past, and he was not going down without a fight; he employed a team of high-profile lawyers, private investigators, and other allies to thwart the investigation. When Kantor and Twohey were finally able to convince some sources to go on the record, a dramatic final showdown between Weinstein and the New York Times was set in motion.
Nothing could have prepared Kantor and Twohey for what followed the publication of their initial Weinstein story on October 5, 2017. Within days, a veritable Pandora’s box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened. Women all over the world came forward with their own traumatic stories. Over the next twelve months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry were outed following allegations of wrongdoing. But did too much change—or not enough? Those questions hung in the air months later as Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, and Christine Blasey Ford came forward to testify that he had assaulted her decades earlier. Kantor and Twohey, who had unique access to Ford and her team, bring to light the odyssey that led her to come forward, the overwhelming forces that came to bear on her, and what happened after she shared her allegation with the world.
In the tradition of great investigative journalism, She Said tells a thrilling story about the power of truth, with shocking new information from hidden sources. Kantor and Twohey describe not only the consequences of their reporting for the #MeToo movement, but the inspiring and affecting journeys of the women who spoke up—for the sake of other women, for future generations, and for themselves.
DEVOURED IN A DAY This book is so much more than what you think it will be. Not a bunch of warmed-over Harvey Weinstein, but a fascinating and even thrilling tale of breaking the HW story. Deeply personal, it delves satisfyingly into so many related issues. The Christine Blasey Ford sections, in particular, were terrific. A page turner that will have you thinking about the BIG issues.Best book of the year candidate This was an outstanding look at how investigative journalism is done at the NY Times and better than most mystery novels I could not put it down! Kudos to tell authors.A stunning and riveting account of Jodi and Megan’s heroic journalism which continues to change the world I read every word on the Weinstein story and its aftermath in the New York Times and elsewhere. So I wasn’t sure I’d learn anything new in this book. Like Spotlight and All The President’s Men, “She Said” showcases the tenacity and painstaking work behind great journalism as well as the courage of the brave sources who went on the record with The New York Times to speak truth to power. A refreshing antidote to the ‘Fake News’ assault on truth era we are living through. I hope someone turns this incredible story behind the story into a movie.
