Jodi Kantor

Jodi Kantor is a New York Times investigative reporter who has revealed hidden truths about power, technology, gender, law, and employment. In 2017, she and Megan Twohey (FAN ’19) exposed Harvey Weinstein’s treatment of women, setting off the worldwide #Metoo reckoning. They were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and co-authored She Said, a book taking readers inside their investigation, also made into a film.

Kantor began her journalism career by dropping out of law school. In 2003, she became the Arts & Leisure editor at The Times, and the youngest person in memory to edit a section of the newspaper. Since then, she has been the recipient of many awards and honors, including the Columbia Alumni medal, the George Polk Award, and Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people of the year. Her work has earned praise across the political spectrum. In 2025 she joined the New York Times‘ Washington bureau’s Supreme Court team full-time.

Kantor’s new book, How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work, offers inspired wisdom, strategy, and a set of aspirations for young people to launch their careers and last their whole lives.

Kantor lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her husband Ron Lieber (FAN ’15, ’21, ‘22) and their two children.
