Chris Rose Career
After a stint as a staff writer at the Washington Post, he joined the Times-Picayune as a crime reporter in 1984.
Over the years, he has covered national politics, economics, Southern regionalism, pop culture, and New Orleans nightlife, traditions, lifestyles, and entertainment. Post-Katrina, Rose picked up reputation and awards as he chronicled the individual and open battles of the catastrophe-stricken zone.
Rose’s segment routinely shows up at his “New Orleans stories” Times-Picayune site. He came back to the subject in different ways, as in caricaturizing the 2008-2009 email discussions swelling around New Orleans city hall leader Ray Nagin and Councilwoman Stacy Head.
He left the paper in late 2009 and joined the New Orleans alternative weekly paper, Gambit Weekly, in mid-February 2010. He moved to WVUE Fox News 8 a year later, where he delivered his pungent commentary on New Orleans life by video and column, up until his abrupt and arguably controversial termination in March 2013.
After his dismissals from Gambit and WVUE, Rose found work as a restaurant waiter. More recently, Chris Rose has been writing for Rouses, a grocery store chain based in Louisiana. Rose writes for the chain’s trade magazine, contributing articles on food-related topics.
In 2016, Rose became a licensed tour guide. His walking tour covers mainly the music history of New Orleans and Louisiana.
Rose is also the author of 1 Dead in Attic, which is a collection of stories recounting the first four harrowing months of life in New Orleans after Katrina. The book went on to become a New York Times Bestseller and garnered a number of accolades.
Rose reigned as King of the Krewe du Vieux for the 2007 New Orleans Mardi Gras season.
Chris Rose Awards and nominations
Rose was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary in 2006 and won a Pulitzer for his contributions to the Times-Picayune’s Public Service Award. He was a finalist for the 2006 Michael Kelly Award.
