Daily Intel : 21 New Media Innovators

De Rosa’s career track sounds like a paraphrase of Hunter Thompson’s words: When the media world gets social, the social media guys go pro. He started by running a few sites catering to Giants and Mets fans, and co-founded Neighborhoodr, a network of local news blogs. While he eventually landed a non-editorial job on the business side of Reuters, in his spare time he was becoming the biggest name on Tumblr with his blog SoupSoup. Its hook was to use Tumblr’s reblogging functionality to create a polished, full-fledged blog based on nothing more than de Rosa’s winningly idiosyncratic taste in news, photos, and video. It didn’t take Reuters all that long to figure out there was some serious unused editorial talent in the building: They hired de Rosa as the company’s social media manager earlier this month. He’s now hard at work plugging the reporting juggernaut into what’s loosely called the “ambient wire,” that is the news-spreading apparatus made up of social networks. De Rosa not only alerts Twitter and Tumblr to what Reuters is doing; he also alerts Reuters’ editors to what Twitter and Tumblr are doing.

Bio:

"I follow the better chef Twitterers: José Andrés is particularly prolific and fun. René Redzepi. David Chang, Mario Batali, Eric Ripert — we’re all friends so we tweet each other pictures of what we’re eating. I also follow AntDeRosa on Twitter. It’s by a Reuters guy, I don’t know his real name. I’m a political junkie, and his interests seem to mirror my own. - Anthony Bourdain

Anthony is the Reuters Social Media Editor, integrating the “ambient wire” that exists on social networks, where news now breaks before anywhere else, into Reuters platforms. As part of his mission, he helps Reuters journalists and editors use social media tools to monitor news, report news, and find leads. He's also a Reuters blogger and host of a Reuters TV show called "Tech Tonic"

Previously, Anthony was the Reuters API (Reuters Connect) Product Manager working on strategic partnerships in print, online and broadcast media. Reuters Media is developing the next generation of media publishing, aggregation and management tools.

Anthony co-founded Neighborhoodr.com with Richard Blakeley. Neighborhoodr is the first and only hyperlocal blog network to leverage the tumblr platform, allowing anyone to find out and share what is happening in their distinct neighborhood.

Anthony has contributed his writing to Reuters, Gawker, Mediaite, BrandChannel and IFC.

Anthony is currently the editor in chief of the SB Nation Tumblr. SB Nation is the largest and fastest-growing network of fan-centric online sports communities, founded by Jerome Armstrong, Tyler Bleszinski and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga (the creator of Daily Kos) and led by former AOL programming chief Jim Bankoff. SB Nation is backed by mid-seven-figure funding led by Accel Partners.

He was formerly the editor in chief of GiantsFootballBlog.com, part of the SportsNet New York blog network from November 2007 to June 2009. SportsNet New York (SNY) is a New York City-based regional sports cable network which airs in the New York metro area and all of New York state, and nationwide via satellite. It is owned jointly by the New York Mets, Time Warner Cable, and Comcast.

Anthony founded HotFootBlog.com in 2006 where he manages a team of writers covering the New York Mets. Prior to Hot Foot, Anthony was a contributing writer for MetsBlog.com, one of the most highly trafficked sports sites on the web, drawing over 3 million visitors a month.

The New York Times declared him "The undisputed King of Tumblr" based on soupsoup.tumblr.com which according to Compete is in the top 25 of over 2.3 million tumblogs and among the top 200 blogs in the world listed on Technorati. Mashable named it one of the best tumblrs of 2008. On Feb 23, 2010, it cracked the Technorati Top 100. Soup was recently cited as a reliable source for news on ABC World News. NBC New York chose him as one of the top 20 people to follow on Twitter. Tumblr founder David Karp told CNN that Soup is one of his favorite tumblr blogs.

Jon Stewart recently cited "Soup" on an episode of The Daily Show.
