Jay Rosen

Jay Rosen has seen a long and diverse career in journalism, both as a practitioner and as an academic. He is currently an associate professor at New York University and is a regular contributor to De Correspondent. Rosen's work extends beyond the classroom and written articles, serving on the George Foster Peabody Awards Board of Directors and authoring the book "What Are Journalists For?". His innovative approach to journalism is also evident in his founding of NewAssignment.net, a project aimed at bridging professional journalists and internet users.

Rosen's contributions to the field of journalism have been widely recognized. His PressThink blog won the Reporters Without Borders Freedom Blog award in 2005 and his work has been influential in the development of open-source journalism. His insights and forward-thinking approach have allowed him to work with tech innovators, including a collaboration with Dave Winer on "Rebooting the News," a weekly podcast on technology and innovation in journalism. His advisory role to Pierre Omidyar's journalism venture, First Look Media, underscores his influence in the field.

In recent years, Rosen's work has focused on the changing landscape of journalism, addressing the prospects for journalism under the Trump presidency on his PressThink blog. He also played a key role in the development of The Correspondent, a news service aimed at redefining the news landscape, which he discussed in his 2018 piece "Letter to My Network: Join The Correspondent." Despite the service's cessation in 2020, Rosen continues to contribute to discussions on media and politics on various platforms, such as Bloggingheads.tv and C-SPAN.
