Jay Rosen (born May 5, 1956 in Buffalo, New York) is a press critic,
a writer, and a professor of journalism at New York
University.
He is a strong supporter of citizen journalism, encouraging the
press to take a more active interest in citizenship, improving
public debate, and enhancing life. His book about the subject,
What Are Journalists For? was published in 1999. Rosen is often described in the media as an
intellectual leader of the movement of public
journalism.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Rosen writes frequently about issues in journalism and
developments in the media. His works have appeared in the New York Times, Salon.com, Harper's Magazine, and The Nation.
He runs his own weblog called PressThink, which
concentrates on what's happening to journalism in the age of the
Net. It won the Reporters
without Borders Freedom Blog award in 2005. He is also a semi-regular contributor to
The
Huffington Post.
Rosen currently resides in New York City.
In July 2006, he announced NewAssignment.Net, a project
linking professional journalists and internet users. The project
has received contributions of $10,000 by the Sunlight
Foundation, $10,000 by Craig Newmark, $75,000 from Cambrian House
and $100,000 by Reuters.
