Journalist Ronan Farrow—who recently came out as a member of the LGBT community at the Point Foundation event Point Honors New York—was among those who have been announced as Pulitzer Prize winners.

Farrow, as well as New York Times writers Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, were awarded the honor for public service in recognition of their reports on disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, bringing to light decades of alleged sexual misconduct and sexual assault.

Since the reports ran, dozens of women have lodged sexual-misconduct allegations against Weinstein, who was fired from his company, which recently filed for bankruptcy.

Farrow's mother, Mia Farrow, posted on social media that she was "so so so proud" of her son.
