Manage episode 472014496 series 3442741
In this powerful episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with the legendary investigative journalist Julie K. Brown, the reporter whose groundbreaking work exposed the horrific crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.
Listen as Mandy and Liz recount their early inspiration from Julie's tenacious reporting on Epstein at a time before the Murdoch investigation. The trio delve into the difficulties of finding and working with victims of trauma, emphasizing the sensitivity and responsibility involved... Julie highlights the moment she realized the true scope of the story and the long-lasting impact of the abuse on the victims' lives. And we tackle the changing landscape of journalism in the age of social media and misinformation, with Julie sharing her ongoing battles against false narratives surrounding the Epstein case.
Plus! Julie explains her decision not to participate in the "Filthy Rich" and other Epstein documentaries, prioritizing her continued reporting and the pursuit of justice over personal gain and the potential for misrepresentation... She believes that significant aspects of the Epstein story remain untold, particularly concerning settlements and undisclosed information held by the DOJ and FBI ....
Despite the challenges, Julie shares her proudest moment: when the Epstein survivors were finally taken seriously and recognized as victims.
It is an inspiring and eye-opening conversation with a true journalistic hero who exemplifies the power of persistence, empathy, and unwavering dedication to seeking justice.
