Megan Twohey

Megan Twohey ( ) is an American journalist. She is an investigative reporter at ''The New York Times'' and previously reported for Reuters, the ''Chicago Tribune,'' and the ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel''.

On October 5, 2017, Twohey and fellow ''Times'' journalist Jodi Kantor published a report about Harvey Weinstein detailing decades of sexual abuse allegations, and more than 80 women publicly accused Weinstein of sexually abusing or assaulting them. The story led to Weinstein's firing and helped to ignite the viral #MeToo movement started by the American activist Tarana Burke. That work was honored in 2018, when ''The New York Times'' was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Kantor and Twohey won the George Polk award and were named to ''Time'' magazine's list of 100 most influential people of the year. Twohey and Kantor subsequently authored a 2019 book, ''She Said,'' which chronicled their report about Weinstein and was adapted into a film of the same name in 2022. In addition to winning the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, Twohey was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting in 2014. Provided by Wikipedia
