Full Bio
According to award-winning author and journalist Tina Rosenberg, we could all benefit from a little peer pressure. A journalist for more than 25 years, Rosenberg has spent her career covering some of the world’s greatest problems. One of the founders of the Solutions Journalism Network, Rosenberg now wants journalists to do more than just point our society’s failings – she wants them to cover how people are responding. Her popular New York Times column, “Fixes,” focused on exploring solutions to major social problems, including the healthcare crisis and widespread poverty, and examines different strategies across a range of communities and organizations. A winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, Rosenberg’s most recent book, Join the Club: How Peer Pressure can Transform the World, takes readers around the globe to show them the power of positive peer pressure.
Rosenberg’s perspective is truly a global one. Through her speaking and writing, she displays what can be learned from the political and social experience of countries all around the world. Her other two books, Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America and The Haunted Land: Facing Europe’s Ghosts After Communism, dive into issues of global democracy, and ultimately how nations do — and should — deal with a repressive past. A compelling presenter, Rosenberg gives audiences the opportunity to engage with her on these issues.
With solutions journalism, Rosenberg is trying to change journalism to change the world. As elegant a speaker as she is a writer, Rosenberg relays her belief in social justice and change through thought-provoking stories from her years of experience. Her speeches challenge audiences to question their ingrained perceptions that peer pressure can only lead to negative outcomes. Instead, she offers a bright new way of changing the world for the better. With a news cycle that constantly bombards us with dark messages of society’s failures, Rosenberg’s message serves as a motivating light, encouraging audiences young and old to do their part in making the world a better place.
