HBO has entered into a deal with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow to make a documentary about threats to journalists, the cable channel announced Wednesday.

"Farrow and team will investigate threats, intimidation and violence directed at journalists working to expose corruption and abuse by governments, corporations and other powerful interests," HBO said in the announcement.

Farrow is best known for his investigative reporting for The New Yorker into sexual misconduct and assault charges against former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, which sparked the #MeToo movement, earning Farrow a Pulitzer in 2018.

“Around the world, journalists are under fire,” Farrow said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “They’re being spied on using new surveillance technology, imprisoned, even murdered. And we’re seeing evolving tactics deployed against reporters in the United States, too, against the backdrop of a new era of misinformation campaigns and rhetoric that seeks to undermine the very idea of objective reporting. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Rachel, Heidi and HBO to tell these stories.”

1. He looks as if he is photoshopped, he could have been a super

star/model. I love that he became an investigative journalist, he is great.
Jon Lovett and him are an adorable couple.
