His book about the subject, What Are Journalists For?, was published in 1999. Rosen often is described in the media as an intellectual leader of the movement of public journalism. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Media criticism and other articles by Rosen have appeared in The New York Times , Los Angeles Times , [13] Salon , Harper's Magazine , and The Nation . He is known for his use of terms such as, "view from nowhere", to criticize ideas about journalistic objectivity. [14]

The first, Winter is coming: prospects for the American press under Trump [20] was followed by, Prospects for the American press under Trump, part two [21] and that dialogue has persisted among journalists and bloggers as a continuing concern.
In 2018, Rosen recommended to readers of his blog [22] that they join an American-based news service and site that plans to begin publishing in 2019, entitled, The Correspondent [23] that will be published in English and is modeled after the Dutch de Correspondent .

Citizen journalism, also known as collaborative media, participatory journalism, democratic journalism, guerrilla journalism or street journalism, is based upon members of the community playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing, and disseminating news and information. Courtney C. Radsch defines citizen journalism "as an alternative and activist form of news gathering and reporting that functions outside mainstream media institutions, often as a response to shortcomings in the professional journalistic field, that uses similar journalistic practices but is driven by different objectives and ideals and relies on alternative sources of legitimacy than traditional or mainstream journalism". Jay Rosen offers a simpler definition: "When the people formerly known as the audience employ the press tools they have in their possession to inform one another." The underlying principle of citizen journalism is that ordinary people, not professional journalists, can be the main creators and distributors of news. Citizen journalism should not be confused with community journalism or civic journalism, both of which are practiced by professional journalists; collaborative journalism, which is the practice of professional and non-professional journalists working together; and social journalism, which denotes a digital publication with a hybrid of professional and non-professional journalism.

Civic journalism is the idea of integrating journalism into the democratic process. The media not only informs the public, but it also works towards engaging citizens and creating public debate. The civic journalism movement is an attempt to abandon the notion that journalists and their audiences are spectators in political and social processes. In its place, the civic journalism movement seeks to treat readers and community members as participants.
