004 | Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey: She Said

It’s been nearly two years since Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey published their Pulitzer Prize-winning exposé of Harvey Weinstein in The New York Times, an investigation that helped fuel a global reckoning with sexual harassment and power. Now, Kantor and Twohey come to CHF to share their new book, She Said, which details the behind-the-scenes stories of their groundbreaking reporting. With CHF’s Marilynn Thoma Artistic Director Alison Cuddy, they’ll discuss how they obtained confidential records, convinced sources to go on the record, and went up against Weinstein’s lawyers and private investigators. They’ll also discuss how their reporting has tackled profound questions at the heart of the #MeToo movement: Has the change gone too far? Or not far enough?
This program is presented in partnership with The New York Times.
