Biography
In 1988, Michael Rosenblum invented an entirely new way to shoot, edit and produce television, with a strong emphasis on television news and documentaries. Instead of sending out the traditional team of reporter, producer, crew and editor, he believed that one well-trained journalist, working with small, hand-held gear, could do it all on their own. He called this Video Journalism. In 1988, it was a radical idea. Today, it is a standard way of working, most often called MMJ or Multi Media Journalism.
He has built and designed more than 60 TV news channels and networks all over the world, all based on his concept. He was founder and President of New York Times Television. Taught at Columbia University, New York University and currently Executive in Residence at the Said Business School at the University of Oxford.
Winner of multiple Emmy Awards, among others, he is the author of four books on the media and has lectured worldwide on the interface between media and technology,
