麻豆视频 the expos茅
On Oct.听5, 2017, The New York Times published an 鈥攁nd then the world changed. But nothing could have prepared the two reporters for what followed the publication of their Weinstein story. Within days, a veritable Pandora鈥檚 Box of sexual harassment and abuse was opened, and women who had suffered in silence for generations began coming forward, trusting that the world would understand their stories.
Over the next 12听months, hundreds of men from every walk of life and industry also would be accused of mistreating听colleagues. But did too much change鈥攐r not enough? Those questions plunged the two journalists into a new phase of reporting and some of their most startling findings yet.

鈥淜antor and Twohey are two highly distinguished investigative journalists, and their award-winning work helped ignite a cultural revolution. #MeToo gave many the power to speak up about their experiences as victims of sexual harassment and abuse,鈥� said CU Boulder student and Distinguished Speakers Board Chair Cameron Trauger.
鈥淒SB believes their experience and perspective are integral to understanding, unpacking听and examining the behavior of those in positions of power, and to further understand journalistic practices to amplify the voices of those who are not.鈥澨�
