PressThinking with Jay Rosen: The Times of Our Times, and Other Media Preoccupations

Jay Rosen 4-thumb.jpg"This is the third interview in the "Fishbowl Final" series. Jay Rosen writes blog posts that are often thousands of words long, and if it's a busy week, sometimes he'll write four. He has no graphics, no gossip, and a URL that no one could ever describe as "catchy." Yet for people in the media -- and people who care about the media -- his blog, PressThink: Ghost of Democracy in the Media Machine, is an absolute must-read. He was the go-to guy on the Judith Miller scandal in the fall (the go-to guy that all the other go-to guys read) and his voice is so necessary that even when he tried to disengage for a quickie book leave the rest of us pulled him back in (he didn't put up much of a fight). Not only that, he's ridiculously photogenic. Who knew? In between blogging, teaching, fielding phone calls from news shows and documentarians (some guy called him three times yesterday during our little photo shoot), and general all-around punditry, Rosen took the time to answer some of our questions for the Fishbowl Final. Typically, it's the longest one yet. Also typically, it's awesome. Without further ado, Jay Rosen."
