Howard Rosenberg is the Pulitzer Prize-winning former television critic for The Los Angeles Times, where his provocative column was distributed nationally and widely read by decision makers in the media and entertainment industry for 25 years.

Witty, outspoken and known for his courageous views, Rosenberg was named the nation’s best TV critic in a survey of his colleagues conducted by Electronic Media. In addition to the Pulitzer, Rosenberg earned two National Headliner awards and numerous other citations for his print commentaries.

Rosenberg has been interviewed on many major national news programs from ABC’s “Nightline” to CNN’s “Larry King Live.” He has been a sports media commentator on ESPN and was the author of the nationally syndicated satirical cartoon strip, Airwaves.

At the University of Southern California, Rosenberg teaches news ethics in the Annenberg School of Communication and critical writing and a TV symposium in the School of Cinematic Arts. In addition, he served seven years on the University of Georgia’s prestigious Peabody Awards board, which hands out the premier individual prizes in electronic media.

An anthology of Rosenberg’s columns and essays, Not So Prime Time: Chasing the Trivial on American Television, was published by Ivan R. Dee in Chicago. Upon publication, Publisher’s Weekly called it a “delectable book of crisp, witty and caustic criticism” in a starred review. Said Kirkus Reviews: “Rosenberg is the real thing—a serious, thoughtful, lucent writer whose low-brow beat appears almost incongruous…No one has mapped TV’s terrain more thoroughly and starkly.” And Bill Moyers proclaimed: “Read this and you’ll see why the Pulitzer jurors said Howard is the best.”

Prior to joining The Los Angeles Times, Rosenberg was television critic at the Louisville Times (KY), and before that a reporter the Moline Dispatch (IL). He began his journalism career as editor of the White Bear Press, a weekly paper near St. Paul, Minnesota.

A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Rosenberg earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Oklahoma and a master’s degree in political science from the University of Minnesota. He and his wife, Carol, reside in a suburb of Los Angeles with a cockatiel, a cat and stacks and stacks of videotapes and DVDs.
