Milwaukee Press Club and On the Issues with Mike Gousha present a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

The Milwaukee Press Club and On the Issues with Mike Gousha presents a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Investigative reporter Megan Twohey.

Twohey is credited with her participation in igniting the global #MeToo movement and sparking a national dialogue about the realities of sexual harassment and assault for women. Last fall, reporting by Twohey and Jodi Kantor revealed sexual harassment allegations dating back decades against Harvey Weinstein, a powerful Hollywood producer. The reporting led to a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service being awarded to The New York Times and a George Polk Award honoring “intrepid journalism.”

Twohey worked as a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from 2003 to 2007, focusing mostly on the treatment of women and children. In 2016, she reported a series of stories of women who accused Donald J. Trump of sexual misconduct during the presidential race.

The conversation between Twohey and Gousha will cover her investigative process, the challenges facing investigation journalism and Twohey’s commitment to covering issues affecting women and children.

The event will run from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. on May 11 at Eckstein Hall at the Marquette University Law School located at 1215 W. Michigan St. The event is free, but attendees must preregister here.
