Chris Rose is a New York Times Best-Selling New Orleans, Louisiana, writer and journalist.[1] For years best known for light-hearted writing in the Times-Picayune, he gained greater attention for his chronicles of the effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans since 2005.

Life

[edit]

Rose graduated from the Georgetown Preparatory School in 1978 and received a journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1982. 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 gained notoriety and accolades as he chronicled the personal and public struggles of the disaster-stricken area. Rose's column regularly appears at his "New Orleans stories"[2] Times-Picayune web site. He returned to the theme in various ways, as in satirizing the 2008-2009 e-mail controversies swelling around New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin and Councilwoman Stacy Head.[3]

Rose 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,[4] 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.[5]

After his dismissals from Gambit and WVUE, Rose found work as 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.[6]

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.[7]

Awards and nominations

[edit]

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.

Rose reigned as King of the Krewe du Vieux for the 2007 New Orleans Mardi Gras season.

Personal life

[edit]

Rose is divorced from Kelly Gluth Rose, a native New Orleanian. They have three children: Katherine, Jack and James. The family adopted a dog left homeless by Hurricane Rita and named the dog Luna Biscuit (which, he jokes, is French for Moon Pie). In the 2007 edition of 1 Dead In Attic Rose revealed that he and his wife had separated.

In October 2006, Rose wrote about taking anti-depressants after suffering from anxiety and depression after Hurricane Katrina.[8]
