Journalist accuses Seattle Times reporter Mike Rosenberg of sending sexually harassing messages
Seattle Times journalist Mike Rosenberg has deactivated his Twitter account after another journalist accused him of sending sexually explicit and harassing messages.
Talia Jane, a Brooklyn-based journalist, first started a thread early Sunday morning, detailing an initially anonymous Twitter user who began asking her about her job prospects, before pivoting to sexually charged messages. She eventually posted a full screenshot with his username.
After inquiring about whether she had considered applying for full-time reporting positions, he appears to have told her, "Anyway you're so beautiful" and "you're so hilarious," and then followed with a sexually explicit message, according to screenshots in Jane's thread.
Jane threaded her responses, which included informing him that his behavior was inappropriate, asking him to deactivate his Twitter account and reaching out to his place of employment, which was revealed to be The Seattle Times.
According to screenshots shared by Jane, Rosenberg said the message wasn't meant for her after she told him it was inappropriate.
