On May 11, 2016, The Hollywood Reporter published a guest column by Farrow in which he drew comparisons between the long-term absence of journalistic inquiry into the rape allegations leveled against Bill Cosby and the sexual abuse allegations levied against his father Woody Allen by Farrow's sister Dylan Farrow (who was 7 years old at the time of the alleged abuse). Farrow detailed first-hand accounts of journalists, biographers, and major publications purposefully omitting from their work decades of rape allegations targeting Cosby.{{cite news |first=Ronan |last=Farrow |date=May 11, 2016 |title=My Father, Woody Allen, and the danger of questions unasked |series = Guest column |website = The Hollywood Reporter |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/my-father-woody-allen-danger-892572 |access-date=February 9, 2019}} Similarly, Farrow recounts the efforts of Allen's publicist, Leslee Dart, to mount a media campaign focused on countering Dylan Farrow's allegations, while at the same time vindicating Allen:

Every day, colleagues at news organizations forwarded me the e‑mails blasted out by Allen's powerful publicist, who had years earlier orchestrated a robust publicity campaign to validate my father's sexual relationship with another one of my siblings. Those e‑mails featured talking points ready-made to be converted into stories, complete with validators on offer—therapists, lawyers, friends, anyone willing to label a young woman confronting a powerful man as crazy, coached, vindictive. At first, they linked to blogs, then to high-profile outlets repeating the talking points – a self-perpetuating spin machine.

Farrow reiterated his support for Dylan and expressed his unwavering belief in her allegations:

I believe my sister. This was always true as a brother who trusted her and, even at 5 years old, was troubled by our father's strange behavior around her: Climbing into her bed in the middle of the night, forcing her to suck his thumb – behavior that had prompted him to enter into therapy focused on his inappropriate conduct with children prior to the allegations.

In closing his guest column, Farrow expressed his view of media culture as one that actively discourages victims of abuse from coming forward. Farrow said that victims are pressured to remain silent by threat of "having those tough newsroom conversations, making the case for burning bridges with powerful public figures" and "going up against angry fans and angry publicists". Farrow's regard for Hollywood (and media in general), as represented in his 2016 Hollywood Reporter guest column, foreshadows his investigation into the alleged misconduct of Harvey Weinstein. His reporting on this was published the following year.

On October 10, 2017, The New Yorker published an investigative article by Farrow detailing allegations of sexual misconduct against film producer Harvey Weinstein five days after The New York Times published the findings of its own investigation into Weinstein. It was subsequently revealed that Farrow originally worked on the story for NBC and that the network decided against airing his initial findings.{{cite news |first=Brian |last=Stelter |date=October 11, 2017 |title=How NBC gave up Ronan Farrow's explosive Harvey Weinstein scoop |publisher=CNN |url=https://money.cnn.com/2017/10/11/media/nbc-new-yorker-harvey-weinstein/index.html |access-date=February 18, 2018}}{{cite magazine |last=Farrow |first=Ronan |date=October 10, 2017 |title=From aggressive overtures to sexual assaults: Harvey Weinstein's accusers tell their stories |magazine=The New Yorker |url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories}}{{cite news |title=Ronan Farrow on how the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke open |date=November 29, 2017 |publisher=CBS News |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ronan-farrow-on-how-the-harvey-weinstein-scandal-broke-open/}} The New Yorker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for Farrow's reporting, sharing the award with Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey at The New York Times.{{cite news |last1=Grynbaum |first1=Michael M. |date=April 16, 2018 |title = The Times and The New Yorker share Pulitzer Prize for public service |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/16/business/media/pulitzer-prizes.html |newspaper = The New York Times |access-date=April 16, 2018}}
