Kenneth R. Rosen is an American journalist and non-fiction writer at The New York Times.[1]
Career
During the Battle of Mosul he traveled to Iraq for Foreign Affairs and The Atavist Magazine. His resulting story on extrajudicial killings by Iraqi forces was recognized by The Atlantic, Longform, and The New York Times which called his reporting "a dark journey behind the Mosul front line where victory and defiance take precedent, and the treatment of the dead flies directly in the face of tradition."[2][3][4][5] He is a past Logan Nonfiction Fellow.[6]
His essay "Notes From My Suicide" received wide acclaim from Longform, including nominations for a American Society of Magazine Editors' National Magazine Award and a Pushcart Prize.[7] Atlanta Magazine recognized it as a Must Read, writing Rosen "recounts in harrowing detail what led him to contemplate suicide, how he tried to carry it out, and what happened when a bullet went astray."[8] Numerous publications have published his essays and reportage including, New York Magazine, The Atlantic, the Village Voice, Tin House, The Rumpus, Narratively, Pacific Standard, Outside Magazine, Roads & Kingdoms, Creative Nonfiction, Guernica, USA Today, Vice, Nowhere Magazine and HuffPost.[9][10]
He attended the M.F.A. program at Columbia University where he briefly served as the editor-in-chief of Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art.[11]
He joined the staff of The New York Times while graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a B.F.A. in writing in 2014.[12] He was part of the Times team awarded a Silurian Medallion award for breaking news coverage of the slaying of two NYPD police officers in 2015.[13][14][15]
