"The more Harvey Weinstein intimidated us, the more we wanted to publish the truth," New York Times reporter Megan Twohey told HuffPost Brazil.New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey published a story in 2017 that shook Hollywood ― and the world ― to its core: They exposed the sexual assault allegations against Hollywood magnate“At the time, we knew we were committed to the truth, but we were not thinking about any specific repercussions that the story might have.
Harvey Weinstein has appeared hunched over and frail since the first day of the trial. Do you think this is a tactic meant to create a certain image? Today we face the dissemination of fake news and constant attacks on the media by U.S. President Donald Trump, and in Brazil, by President Jair Bolsonaro. What are your thoughts on the importance of journalism in bringing to light stories like the one you published about Weinstein?
There is no doubt that what we saw was magnified by the Me Too movement. And there is no doubt that there was a cultural shift from that point forward. And, there was a kind of accountability we had not seen before: Powerful men in various industries were fired from their positions after accusations of sexual misconduct were leveled against them. I think it has been incredible to be a part of that.
