Read this today even though I have read the longer She Said. It’s adapted for a younger audience, and gives advice on reporting strategies and backgrounds on the journalist. Fascinating to see how the work was adapted , especially given the fairly sensitive topic.
I read the original, adult text She Said. This is a wonderful adaption for the YA audience. It was incredibly clear, and I was able to follow the entire story. I love how things like "deep background" were defined.
I will read anything that Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey write. This was a nice follow up to "She Said," which I enjoyed immensely. The end of the book of this new edition was the best part, where they gave advice to up and coming journalists. I wish more of that was infused throughout the book, but nonetheless, these two journalists are heroes and every time I read about the difficulties they faced breaking this landmark story and how truly impossible it seemed at times, it fills me with hope and...
Deliberately picked this version because it contained a guide to investigative journalism. I have not read She Said yet so I can’t speak to differences between the versions. That all being said, this book focuses on Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey reporting out their story on Harvey Weinstein’s pattern of sexual misconduct and abuse— like All the President’s Men to Woodward and Bernstein’s Watergate articles. Just from that, it is very clear in showing how they reported it and why they did certain
Very thorough account of the Harvey Weinstein investigation by the New York Times.
4.5 stars. I really enjoyed listening to how they started the downfall of Harry Weinstein.
Excellent description of the journalism behind #metooRiveting, topical. Notes at the end as well as tips for aspiring journalists add to the value of this book.
I cried. Women are really cool and resilient.
Really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t really sure what it was about when I checked it out from the library (other than journalism) but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed seeing everything that happened with Harvey Weinstein from the eyes of the journalists and victims. It helped me understand more about everything and helped me feel more sympathy to those who were victimized. I could see how brave they were for standing up for themselves and others. I would definitely recommend this book
Ruby Shamir adapts SHE SAID into a young adult version that is about Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey sharing their journey from their early days when they were writing about the Harvey Weinstein investigation. These two women are the perfect role models for young aspiring writers. They speak of feminism and the movement of women writers while also sticking to importance of searching for the true answers.CHASING THE TRUTH is a riveting novel that opens the reader's eyes to what Jodi Kantor and Megan...
Not only will this book inspire aspiring journalists, but it will also provide a stirring example of how speaking out against wrongs can lead to change. In this young reader's edition of She Said by the two journalists who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal in the New York Times describe their background in reporting and then detail how they received their first inklings that there had been widespread abuse of power on the part of the Hollywood producer, including sordid scenes and propositions
I was distracted by a few simple editing errors in the book, however it got better and the work of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey to expose Weinstein's decades of predatory behavior is revealed. They worked tirelessly to report his brash and often unapologetic behavior in the New York Times, once agin making it clear that journalism is often the best way to expose wrongs. We have to remember that, including the young people this book is designed for: Reporting wrong can sometimes be more effective...
A young journalists guide but be prepared for the content. The investigative journalist over view shared in the book was the process of calling Harvey Weinstein out in the NYT on his sexual assault, rape and cover-ups. While there was no graphic testimony the content may be triggering for some readers and should include unpacking convos with younger readers.
It is a testament to their writing that I wanted to read this book instead of watching football yesterday. Even though I know what happened, I couldn't stop turning the page to see what happened next. THIS is how you make our society change.
