Beskrivelse:

Jay Rosen, on the NYU faculty since 1986, is a press critic and writer whose primary focus is the media's role in a democracy. He teaches courses in media criticism, cultural journalism, press ethics, the journalistic tradition, and other subjects.

Since 1990 Rosen has been a leading figure in the reform movement known as "public journalism," which calls on the press to take a more active role in strengthening citizenship, improving political debate and reviving public life.

From 1993 to 1997, he was the Director of the Project on Public Life and the Press, funded by the Knight Foundation and housed at NYU. The project's goal was to further the movement for public journalism by holding seminars for working journalists and researching their experiments.

Rosen's book on the subject, What Are Journalists For? was published in 1999 by Yale University Press.

He is a member of the Penn National Commission on Society, Culture and Community, headed by President Judith Rodin of the University of Pennsylvania. The Commission's three-year charge is to study in depth the deteriorating climate of public debate and what might be done to improve it. Rosen is also an associate of the Kettering Foundation of Dayton, Ohio.

As a press critic and essayist, he writes frequently on media and political issues. His work has appeared in the Columbia Journalism Review, Harpers, The Nation, The New York Times, and the on-line journal Salon, among other venues. From 1993 to 1997, he was the media editor of Tikkun magazine, where he was often published.

In 1994 Rosen was a fellow at the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University. In 1990-91 he held a fellowship at the Gannett Center for Media Studies at Columbia University, now the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center.
