Read this in conjunction with [b:She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement 44767249 She Said Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement Jodi Kantor https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1573830483l/44767249.SY75.jpg 69397793], and you'll really see how much of a difference a supportive editorial structure makes when reporting a major story (I say like I have any special insight into journalism). The fact that Noah Oppenheim and Andy Lack still have their jobs after this book's publication is just staggering and an incredibly clear illustration of why the Weinstein story would never have seen the light of day at NBC. This book is almost as much about the fight to fully report the Weinstein story and the efforts to keep it hidden as it is about the story itself - it reminded me in that way of [b:Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup 37976541 Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup John Carreyrou https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1556268702l/37976541.SX50.jpg 59699437]. I also very much enjoyed the spy-novel aspects, the shade regarding the movie Jackie, and the Jon Lovett cameos (“I'm interesting! I've been to an escape room!”). Highly recommended.
