Scott Rosenberg is an American journalist, editor, blogger and non-fiction author. He was a co-founder of Salon Media Group and Salon.com and a relatively early participant in The WELL.
Rosenberg's first book, Dreaming in Code[1] appeared in 2007. It offers a detailed perspective on collaboration and massive software endeavors, particularly the open source calendar application Chandler (PIM).
His writings at Salon.com, The San Francisco Examiner and elsewhere have ranged from theatre and film criticism to technology reporting and political commentary.
In 2009, he published a book on the history of blogging, Say Everything.[2]
In 2010, Scott started MediaBugs.org, which is a "service for reporting specific, correctable errors and problems in media coverage." Then "We'll try to alert the journalists or news organization involved about your report and bring them into a conversation," which may get the error corrected. It is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of their News Challenge.
