Autorenporträt

Julie K. Brown is an award-winning investigative journalist with the Miami Herald. Her pursuit of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking story re-opened the case ten years after Epstein's sweetheart deal with then District Attorney Secretary Alex Acosta, resulting in the federal indictments of Epstein and the resignation of Acosta from his post as Labor Secretary under President Trump. For her reporting on Epstein, Brown was awarded the Hillman Prize for Newspaper Journalism, the National Press Club Journalism Institute's Neil and Susan Sheehan award for investigative journalism, the Freedom Forum Institute's Power Shift award, and a George Polk Award in the Justice Reporting category.

Rezensionen

"A gripping journalistic procedural. . . Spotlight meets Erin Brockovitch. . . Brown's book is richer for including lots of reportorial impasses and rabbit holes; it shows what a painstaking and often maddening process investigative journalism is." - Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times

"Julie K. Brown's important book offers not just a definitive account of the Epstein case, but a compelling window into her own experiences as a dogged reporter at a regional newspaper, facing off against both powerful interests set against her reporting, and a wider moment in which local news is a precious and vanishing resource. The book is subtitled "The Jeffrey Epstein Story," but its lessons about courage in the face of adversity, and the crucial role of journalism in holding the powerful to account, go far beyond that case." - Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and Kill

"Class, as much as the dismal state of journalism, is the great undercurrent in Perversion of Justice and gives this scrappy book its heart." - Laura Miller, Slate

"Brown pulls back the curtain on her life behind the headlines." - Daily Beast

"[Brown's] description of both the hard work of investigation and the perilous current state of newspapers adds an important dimension to the story." - Tampa Bay Times
