How Did NBC Miss Out on a Harvey Weinstein Exposé?
“We are there in service of women doing something really tough,” Mr. Farrow told the host, “and I hope people hear their voices and focus on that.”
The next day, however, the media and entertainment industries were still discussing how
and why Mr. Farrow’s story on allegations of sexual abuse levied against the film mogul Harvey Weinstein by numerous women had ended up being published by The New Yorker — after it began as an investigative report for NBC News.
Suffice to say, the stunning story, the incredible story
that we all read yesterday, was not the story that we were looking at when we made our judgment several months ago.”
Mr. Oppenheim said NBC News “couldn’t be prouder” of Mr. Farrow, who is no longer under contract with the network.
In fact, there were multiple determinations that it was reportable at NBC.”
When Ms. Maddow pressed him to explain what had happened with NBC, he said, “Look,
you would have to ask NBC and NBC executives about the details of that story.”
At the annual town hall meeting, Mr. Oppenheim said NBC had determined over the summer
that Mr. Farrow’s reporting lacked some elements it needed for publication, but that he had since filled the gaps.
By the time Mr. Farrow had given up on the idea that the story would air on NBC, he had on-camera interviews — with the subjects’ faces
rendered in shadow — with employees at the Weinstein Company as well as other victims of harassment and assault, the people said.
