With over 50 students in attendance, New York Times reporter Matt Rosenberg came to Poly during the clubs block on November 30 to speak about his journalistic work. A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, Rosenberg shared his experiences with reporting abroad, having spent 15 years as a foreign correspondent in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East (even being expelled from Afghanistan in 2014 for his reporting). Born in New York and a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, Rosenberg previously worked for The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press. Most recently, Rosenberg has contributed to the Times live coverage of the Israel-Hamas War. Poly students Lucas Basham ’24, Breaking News Editor for the Polygon, and Brianna Sylvain ’27, Arts Editor, both moderated the conversation.
