About Megan Twohey
Megan Twohey is an American journalist and an investigative reporter at The New York Times. Earlier in her career she reported for Reuters, the Chicago Tribune and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. On October 5, 2017, she and fellow Times journalist Jodi Kantor published a report on decades of sexual abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein. More than 80 women went on to publicly accuse him of sexual abuse or assault. The story led to his firing and helped ignite the #MeToo movement begun by activist Tarana Burke. Twohey and Kantor later wrote She Said (2019), which tells the story of that reporting. The book was turned into a 2022 film of the same title. In 2014 Twohey was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting, and she and Kantor also received the George Polk award.
