Room for Discussion | Megan Twohey: Breaking the Weinstein Story @RoomforDiscussionUva | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
We are unbelievably excited to have Megan Twohey on our stage, an incredible Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist who uncovered a story that shocked the world.
A little over two years ago, New York Times journalist Megan Twohey and her colleague Jodi Kantor published their investigation on the systematic abuse by Harvey Weinstein. This expose of a man whose name remains synonymous with Hollywood power set a movement in motion that went far beyond the film industry: #metoo.
In this interview with Megan Twohey, our interviewers Alexander Jordaan & Zoé Gáspár will dive into the details of her investigative journalism that led to Weinstein’s downfall. Looking at the seedy world of secret payouts, private investigators and shadowy settlements.
How did they find his trail, despite all his efforts to cover up what he was doing? How was he enabled by people and the system around him? And how did they convince women to speak up against the powerful?
We want to get her personal commentary on the #metoo movement and what it has achieved. Has too much changed or not enough? Did the call out culture of #metoo radicalise and does it no longer respect “innocent until proven guilty”? And have changes to the system that enabled the abuse of Weinstein, and so many others, actually been made?
For answers to these and many more questions, come to our event the 3rd of December, from 13:00-14:00!
