Jay Rosen

I never properly introduced myself when I joined Oct. 29.

I have been teaching #journalism at NYU since 1986. I have a PhD in media studies. My masters thesis was on McLuhan. My PhD thesis was about the concept of "the public."

I write a lot about press coverage of politics, and try to puzzle out what journalists as a group are thinking, which is why my site is called pressthink.org

I've been online since 1996. Been blogging since 2003. On Twitter since 2008.

Thanks for making Mastodon.

@jayrosen_nyu Hi Jay, impressive career. I frankly just followed though because you picked an Elvis Costello joint for your theme song😁 (My EC fave: Watching the Detectives.)
Show threadJay RosenNov 21, 2022
@juliana Watching the Detectives is great, but it wouldn't be a theme song. A theme song is not the same as a "favorite" song.

@jayrosen_nyu True indeed.
Show threadTodd KatzNov 21, 2022
@jayrosen_nyu Thank you for the biography. Given your expertise in the teachings of Marshall McLuhan, I'm wondering if you've analyzed twitter, etc. social media based on his theories of 'hot' and 'cold', etc? Similarly, Donald Trump. How would McLuhan have seen him? Would like very much to read same. Thanks, -todd

@jayrosen_nyu I think I know what you’re talking about, a very particular case. But I’m referring to a more general sense of finding one’s collective feet in a new space, deciding on best practices, etc. NB: I am not a journalist, just another one of your news junkie followers.

@ProgGrrl That's something I might write about, yes, once I learn more about the differences, and have something original to say. I hate to duplicae what others are saying.
