My Take
Ronan Farrow is one of those people who makes you feel slightly underachieving just reading his bio — a Rhodes Scholar, Yale Law grad, former State Department adviser, and then the journalist who arguably changed Hollywood forever. His 2017 New Yorker exposé on Harvey Weinstein didn't just win a Pulitzer; it lit the fuse on a cultural reckoning that was long, long overdue. What I find genuinely impressive isn't the famous parentage or the prodigy narrative the press loved to run with — it's the doggedness. He spent over a year on that story while other outlets reportedly passed or killed it. That's the real thing. His book Catch and Kill reads like a thriller, and the fact that it's all true makes it more unsettling, not less. A legitimate muckraker in an era that badly needed one.
