He worked there for 25 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism.[2] In recent years he has written the book No Time to Think: The Menace of Media Speed and the 24-Hour News Cycle with Charles S. Feldman and compiled an anthology of his works, Not So Prime Time: Chasing the Trivial on American Television. He currently teaches multiple classes on television criticism as an adjunct professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.[3]
[edit] Controversy
In a column soon after the September 11, 2001 attacks, Rosenberg said that George W. Bush appeared "stiff and boyish." This led to requests for him to be fired and he stated that he received letters calling him "Osama bin Rosenberg" due to the controversy.[4]
[edit] Personal life
Rosenberg earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Oklahoma and a Master’s degree in political science from the University of Minnesota. He is Jewish.[5] Rosenberg's daughter, Kirsten Rosenberg, co-owned a bakery in Washington, D.C., called Sticky Fingers and is currently the lead singer of the all-female tribute band The Iron Maidens.[6]
