Released Oct. 15, “Catch and Kill” details the Pulitzer-winning reporter’s extensive investigation into Harvey Weinstein’s behavior toward women, as well as his experiences doing so at NBC News, where he first worked on his exposé before taking it to The New Yorker. NBC News has aggressively denied some of the reporting and details of Farrow’s account of his experiences at the network in the book, which unearths a lot of new material. Weinstein, who has pleaded not guilty in his upcoming criminal trial, has also denied some of the reporting in the book.
