Megan Twohey is a prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and a best-selling author whose work has fueled changes to the law, criminal convictions and cultural shifts.

In 2017, she and Jodi Kantor broke the story of Hollywood Producer Harvey Weinstein’s long pattern of sexual harassment and abuse, which helped ignite the #MeToo movement and shared in the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Their book, She Said which takes readers behind the scenes of reporting on Weinstein, was called “an instant classic of investigative journalism” by The Washington Post and was adapted into a film of the same name, by Plan B Entertainment. Along with Ruby Shamir, they wrote another edition, Chasing the Truth, geared specifically for young readers who aspire to investigative journalism. The Weinstein story was among many investigations by Twohey into sexual misconduct and the treatment of women that stretch back to her work revealing the problem of untested rape kits.

Twohey has also illuminated dangers to kids. She uncovered a black market for adopted children and a suicide website run by two shadowy figures that was linked to the deaths of young people around the world. At every turn, she seeks to hold powerful individuals and institutions to account. Her most recent investigation revealed how Adidas tolerated antisemitism and other misconduct by Kanye West for nearly a decade in a sneaker collaboration that made billions and pushed the boundaries of celebrity endorsement deals.

Twohey’s work has been featured in a variety of media formats, including on The Daily. Her interview of Donna Rotunno, one of Weinstein’s criminal attorneys, is among the podcast’s most-downloaded episodes.

Named one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People of The Year, she has served as a contributor to NBC and can be found on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
