The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists discussed their new book on Wednesday evening.
reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the first story with sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the enraged producer showed up at the newspaper’s office with legal counsel in tow, with folders of threatening information against the women who had come forward.
Morris, Kantor, and Twohey discussed the process of the investigation, and the reporters emphasized the importance of not letting the story become about them and trying not to be affected by the emotional weight of the story. One of their biggest hurdles in the process were the non-disclosure agreements signed in many settlements, which legally bound many of the women to silence.
In addition to igniting the #MeToo movement and Times Up, the Weinstein reporting unveiled a side of Hollywood that no one wanted to talk about: the casting couch culture. Morris recalled how he’d hear late night hosts joke about it, making it seemingly easier to ignore. "It’s a part of the culture we were trained to laugh at and ignore consequentially," Morris said.
