Carey was a Shorenstein Center Fellow on leave from his faculty position at Columbia University when he wrote this article in 2003. Carey, who died on May 23, 2006, was a preeminent journalism theorist. He is noted for his “ritual theory” of journalism, which posits that journalism is a type of drama as opposed simply to a means of public communication. Carey joined the Columbia Journalism School’s faculty in 1992 after having been professor and dean of the College of Communication at the University of Illinois.
Few scholars could match his writing skills and fewer still could match his intellect. All that was combined in a thoroughly decent man who, though teaching in New York City, held tight to a lifelong devotion to the Boston Red Sox. The Shorenstein Center is fortunate to have had him as one of its fellows, and through its Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, to have the honor of publishing one of the last articles he wrote.

July 13, 1978, Page 16 The New York Times Archives Harold Rosenberg, for many years art critic of The New Yorker and known for his forthright championship of the American Abstract Expressionist painters, died Tuesday after a stroke complicated by pneumonia at his summer home in The Springs, L.I. He was 72 years old. Rosenberg was a philosopher, a committed critic and, during the 1930's and early 40's, an able administrator. ‘Educated’ at the Library Harold Rosenberg was born in Brooklyn on Feb. 2, 1906, the son of Abraham Benjamin and Fanny Edelman Rosenberg. He attended City College in 1923‐24 and graduated with a degree in law from St Lawrence University in 1927.
(In later years he sometimes contended he had been self‐educated on the steps of the New York Public Library). From the first, art and literature ranked equally in his activity, From 1938 to 1942, he was national art editor of the American Guide, a series produced by the Works Progress Administration. Later he served in the Office of War Informnation as deputy chief of the domestic radio bureau. He was consultant to the Treasury Department in 1995‐46 and from 1996 to 1973 he was program consultant to the Advertising Council of America. A born teacher who delighted in the cut and thrust of debate, Mr. Rosenberg lectured at the New School for Social Research in 1953‐59. In 1963 he gave the Christian Gauss seminars at Princeton and in 1965 he was visiting professor at the University of Southern Illinois.
From 1966 he was professor of social thought in the art department at the University of Chicago. His larger reputation, however,was based on the books and articles to which he gave both his abundant energies and his finely honed polemical skills.
The first and rarest of his books was a volume of poems called “Trance Above the Streets,” which appeared in 1942. Subsequent prose volumes included “The Tradition of the New,” “Arshile Gorky,” “The Anxious Object,” “Artworks and Packages,” “Art and the Actor,” “The Dc‐Definition of Art,” “Willem de Kooning “ and “Saul Steinberg.” The last of these was published this year and coincided with Mr Steinberg's retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum. ‘Discoverer of Ideas’ Mr Steinberg said yesterday that Harold Rosenberg “had a rare gift for inventing and discovering ideas in your presence. He could clarify those ideas in a way that was both ingenious and playful. His intelligence was contagious. Talking with him was always a surprise. One didn't quite know what the talk was about, but it was extremely precise ands efficient.”.
Advertisement For much of his life Mr. Rosenberg was a little‐magazine man. Publications of that sort found in him both an ideal reader and a ferocious contributor. But from 1967 onward, as art critic of The New Yorker, he reached a vastly larger public.
He had the time, and he had the space, and he had every possible encouragement to put his ideas into definitive form. More than one of his later books was in fact an anthology of New Yorker pieces for which a provocative title had presented itself. Rosenberg had a commanding physical presence, and as he grew older he began to look more and more like a philosophical eagle that had just finished feasting on bear meat. In the emergencies of New York life he could be notably courageous. At a time in his life when he walked with some difficulty, for instance, he was once set upon by a mugger.

Far from retreating, Mr. Rosenberg advanced upon his assailant, raised his massive cane high above his head, and shouted, “Go away, or I'll kill you!” Whereupon the other man took to his heels. Articles Sturdy, Too Something of this quality came out in his New Yorker articles. But like many another committed critic, Harold Rosenberg had great difficulty in admitting that art had not taken a turn for the worse around the time that he himself ceased to sympathize with the new.
This caused his articles on the current art scene to be remarkable rather for their Lear‐like rages than for any insights of permanent value. As he saw it, something had gone out of the New York art scene since the time above all, since the late 90's and early 50's — when he had experienced a profound commitment to artists who had looked wonderful then and still looked wonderful now. Much of what he wrote in the 60's and 70's would find its place in any history of invective. But it was in writing of his old friends and companions that all his gifts came together and he was revealed as one of the great American advocates. Advertisement His last book‐length work, a study of Barnett Newman, was completed recently. It is likely to confirm what was said of him yesterday by William Shawn, editor of The New Yorker: “Harold Rosenberg is an enormous loss to the country's intellectual life.
He was a writer and thinker of the first rank.” Mr.Rosenberg is survived by his wife the former Maynatalie Tabak, and his daughter, Patia Rosenberg, professor of ethnomusicology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The funeral was held privately yesterday. A memorial service will be held at a date to he announced.
