Kevin Roose is a technology columnist for The New York Times. His column, "The Shift", focuses on the intersection of technology, business, and culture.[1] He wrote a book about Liberty University, an evangelical Christian university historically known for very strict rules imposed on students.[2] Roose worked as news director at Fusion.[3][4] He was named to Forbes' "30 Under 30" in 2015.[5] In June 2017, he rejoined The New York Times.[6] Roose is a graduate of Brown University.[7] Conservatives have accused him of being an advocate for online censorship, which he confirms.

Writing

Roose wrote The Unlikely Disciple while undercover at Liberty University, aiming to explore the culture of life at a fundamental Evangelical university.[8] Roose, raised in a secular and liberal environment, wanted to better understand conservative Christian culture.[9]

Roose's second book, Young Money, follows the beginning of the career of eight financial analysts on Wall Street. It focuses on the difficult and strenuous work environments and what makes the financial industry different after the financial crisis of 2007–08.[10]

He earned the 2018 Gerald Loeb Award for Breaking News for the story "Ouster at Uber."[11]

Other work

Roose is the host of "Rabbit Hole," an eight-part podcast from The New York Times "examining how the internet is changing us."[12]

Media appearances

Roose appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on February 27, 2014, to discuss Young Money.[13]
