Jeffrey Epstein abused girls for years. So did Harvey Weinstein. Lots of people knew. What changed?

Women reporters. Like @jkbjournalist at the Miami Herald and @jodikantor and @mega2e of the @nytimes. Not to mention @emilysteel of the Times who brought down Bill O'Reilly.
Also: there were rumors about Roy Moore, Jr in Alabama for decades. But three women at the @washingtonpost finally earned the trust of his victims, and got them to speak on the record: washingtonpost.com/investigations…
So if not for @mccrummenWaPo, @bethreinhard, @alice_crites -- and the editors at the @washingtonpost smart enough to hire them and trust them -- Sen. Moore of Alabama would be in the Capitol, freaking out the pages.
So this took off a bit... please read the replies for more journalists, including men, who've done important work that should be celebrated.
