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".

“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
