Why NBC News investigative reporter Ronan Farrow broke the news of Harvey Weinstein rape allegations in The New Yorker

Variety

CNN’s Jake Tapper called it “media complicity,” but there was a reason Farrow took his work to The New Yorker. According to Variety, Farrow got NBC News’ permission to do his investigative work for The New Yorker, with the thinking that sources wouldn't open up to a TV outlet fearing that they would have to speak on camera. Farrow will discuss his exclusive on tonight’s NBC Nightly News.
