Ronan Farrow and Alexandra Schwartz Talk to David Remnick About the Effects of the Weinstein Scandal

In the wake of the avalanche of claims about Harvey Weinstein, more and more powerful men across the nation—in entertainment, newsrooms, tech firms, politics—are being accused of sexual harassment and worse, and are being called to account. Ronan Farrow reported for The New Yorker some of the most shocking charges, including rape, that women in entertainment have made against Weinstein. (Weinstein has denied claims of nonconsensual sex.) And Farrow detailed a campaign of intimidation and threats that Weinstein waged against accusers. Alexandra Schwartz has been exploring how the scandal is rippling through our society on social media. The two writers spoke with David Remnick about how the escalating movement seems to be changing how America thinks about sexual misconduct.
