In an meeting with NPR Friday, Ronan Farrow reiterated the assertion he makes in a book that is new Catch and Kill, that NBC Information leadership worked to kill the reporting that ultimately broke available Harvey Weinstein’s so-called reputation for intimate assault — and that it’s associated with a wider pattern of networkwide harassment and punishment.
Within the guide, Farrow casts NBC News President Noah Oppenheim in an especially dark light as a vital administrator who he says attempted to stifle Farrow’s story as a result of close ties between NBC Information professionals and Weinstein — a cohort whose actions, he contends, fueled a pervasive tradition of sexism and unethical journalism.
