Brett Kavanaugh and where #MeToo reporting goes next - Columbia Journalism Review - 0 views

  •  
    "IN THE YEAR SINCE The New York Times's Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the Harvey Weinstein story that catalyzed the #MeToo movement, a pattern has emerged. Powerful men are credibly accused of sexual harassment or assault, suspensions are levied, investigations are launched, and many of those men lose their jobs. But only occasionally, as in Ronan Farrow's reporting on CBS or Irin Cameron's speech at the 2018 Mirror Awards, are the institutions and systems that prop up these abusers challenged directly. At times over this period, journalists and observers have questioned what's next for #MeToo, and how the press will address not just the individual actions of a handful of bad actors, but the society that allowed them to get away with their actions in the first place. Coverage of the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh may have provided a window into what those next steps look like."
