I feel that the quantity of these reports has been increasing since the whole Weinstein incident.
I wonder if it is because there's more comfort in finally sharing or because reporters are looking for scoops more.

Rose McGowan was publicly accusing Weinstein (not by name but it was known) of rape for a long time before the media would report it. There have also been several high profile media people who have been fired for sexual misconduct so that has probably made the upper level management in the media afraid to continue covering up these stories.
