Jay RosenI saw the movie "She Said" in the theatre. An outstanding work. There's a lot of good journalism movies, but in my own rankings this might be the best. What it's best at is showing how the pursuit of a monster story is all-consuming. It invades every portion of your life. 1/
With devastating clarity and in painful detail, "She Said" fixates on the key difference between learning the truth and "having" the story. New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor know that Harvey Weinstein is a monster long before they can meet the bar for publishing that fact. 2/
Rebecca M. Townsend@jayrosen_nyu I loved it. Came back from the theater even more impressed with both reporters and the work they did to learn the truth. The portrayal of how they talked with sources was of a respect and humane tenderness with the very difficult subjects they discussed.
@RMTownsend Thanks, Rebecca.
