“The freedom of the press is under attack as the government tries to silence journalists who report information the public wants and needs to know,” Rosen said. “It’s vital that young journalists understand these pressures and are emboldened to defend the fundamental principles of journalism when they enter the field.”

In addition to his role as chief Washington correspondent for Fox News, Rosen also hosts the online show “The Foxhole” and authored The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate. Rosen’s second book, Cheney One on One: Candid Conversations with America’s Most Controversial Statesman, will be published on Nov. 2.

Before joining Fox News, Rosen worked as a researcher to “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Dan Rather; as an associate producer at WWOR-TV in New York; as a producer in the political unit of NY-1 News; as an anchor and reporter for WREX-TV in Rockford, Illinois; and as an anchor and reporter for News12/The Bronx. His articles and essays have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, and National Review, among other periodicals.
