Career and Net Worth

Soon after his college graduation, James Rosen started to work for the NY1 channel. He worked in the role of a producer. After NY1, James joined CBS News. There his responsibility was to research the news items and current affairs for Dan Rather. Dan was the editor and anchor of CBS at the time.

James Rosen’s journey at Fox started in 1999. During his time at Fox, James has traveled the entire world in order to report all major news and events going on around the globe. He has been to Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Uganda. Some of the most important tasks of his career were completed while working for the Fox News network. He has interviewed a large number of significant people in the United States including the Chief of Justice of the US court and two presidents of the United States. He has also interviewed many celebrities from different walks of life, including noted authors William F. Buckley, Jr. and Tom Wolfe. He interviewed Secretary of State John Kerry in Doha, Qatar on the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and the United State's involvement in training Syrian opposition.

James has written a number of essays and stories for the NY Times. His articles were also published in a number of magazines like Playboy and Atlantic Monthly. He has authored a book titled “THE STRONG MAN”, the first full-scale biography of John N. Mitchell, the central figure in the rise and ruin of Richard Nixon and the highest-ranking American official ever convicted on criminal charges. James Rosen traces Mitchell’s early life and career from his Long Island boyhood to his mastery of Wall Street, where Mitchell's innovations in municipal finance made him a power broker to the Rockefellers and mayors and governors in all fifty states.

On May 17, 2013, the United States Department of Justice was reported by the Washington Post to have been monitoring Rosen's activities by tracking his visits to the State Department. After the intel was gathered, James was labeled a "criminal co-conspirator" with Stephen Jin-Woo Kim. In a written statement, the Justice Department said it had followed “all applicable laws, regulations, and longstanding Department of Justice policies intended to safeguard the First Amendment interests of the press in reporting the news and the public in receiving it.” Nevertheless, the Department’s aggressive tactics that were used in order to gather information, sparked an outcry among analysts who claimed that such an approach has a chilling effect on news organizations. Fox News contributor, Judge Andrew Napolitano, commented: "This is the first time that the federal government has moved to this level of taking ordinary, reasonable, traditional, lawful reporter skills and claiming they constitute criminal behavior."

Dana Milibank of the Washington Post made an even bolder statement against the government: "The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administration, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Richard Nixon could only have dreamed of. To treat a reporter as a criminal for doing his job seeking out information the government doesn’t want made public deprives Americans of the First Amendment freedom on which all other constitutional rights are based”.

Public opinion was in favor of James Rosen, which kept the government from going further with the investigation. The matter was soon forgotten.
