Career As A Blogger and Journalist
When Rosenberg commenced his blog, FailedMessiah.com, in 2004 his purpose was to post his and Schneerson's letters on the internet. He continued blogging out of concern that the blog service would remove it and close the account if he failed to continue posting. The general subject matter of his first posts was Chabad messianism. It was the advent of what he calls his “excommunication” occurring about one month after he first started FailedMessiah.com, as well as the treatment he received from former friends, which made him decide to turn FailedMessiah.com into a more in depth and frequently updated blog.
Additionally, Rosenberg authors articles for the Jewish Daily Forward, Tablet Magazine, Moment, Sh'ma Magazine, Guilt and Pleasure, Jewish World Review, Jewcy, the Minneapolis StarTribune, the Daily Beast, and at one time, when time permitted, a weekly column for Heeb called "Crimes and Misdemeanors".

Famous quotes containing the words career and/or journalist:
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It’s absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
