*Media Matters Action Network** Announces M.J. Rosenberg As Senior Fellow*

* *

*WASHINGTON, D.C. –* *Media Matters Action Network* announced that M.J.
Rosenberg will serve as a Senior Fellow.  Focusing on foreign policy and
Middle Eastern affairs, Rosenberg will give the organization an increased
capacity to correct misinformation surrounding complex foreign policy
issues.

Washington has dozens of organizations championing a conservative approach
to Israel, the Middle East and broader foreign policy issues. *Media Matters
Action Network *will combat their wrongheaded assessments in order to
facilitate a lasting peace throughout the region and the world.

“This is a real turning point for us. Adding M.J. to our team will allow us
to venture into multifaceted international issues in a way we haven't thus
far,” said *Media Matters Action Network* Managing Director Ari Rabin-Havt.
“His experience and knowledge on these issues will allow *Media Matters
Action Network* to engage in policy debates with decision makers over
various issues surrounding Afghanistan, Israel, Iran and the entire Middle
East.”

“I’ve been fortunate to spend my career surrounded by people I admire while
working on issues I care deeply about,” said Rosenberg. “As a Senior Fellow
at *Media Matters Action Network*, I look forward to contributing to, and
commenting on, the intense policy debates surrounding Israel and the entire
Middle East.”

Rosenberg joins *Media Matters Action Network* as policy battles loom over
the United States’ role in Iran, Israel and Afghanistan.

*Brief biography:*

M.J. Rosenberg served as the Director of Policy Analysis for Israel Policy
Forum (IPF), a position he held since the spring of 1998.
