Matthew Rozsa is a professional writer whose work has appeared in multiple national media outlets since 2012 and exclusively at Salon since 2016. Throughout his career he has covered politics, culture and social issues. Today he is primarily a science journalist, one who focuses on the broad spectrum of topics related to climate change.

He received a Bachelor's degree in History from Bard College in 2006, a Master's degree in History from Rutgers-Newark in 2012 and left Lehigh University as ABD in its History PhD program because his adviser and mentor John Pettegrew died. He joked with comedians Tim & Eric in 2017, chatted with Elmo the Muppet on "Sesame Street" in 2018, was a guest on Fox Business in 2019, repeatedly warned of President Donald Trump's impending refusal to concede throughout the 2020 election, spoke about QAnon at the Commonwealth Club of California in 2021, won a science journalism fellowship from the Metcalf Institute in 2022, appeared on NPR to defend Senator John Fetterman against ableism in 2023 and collaborated with Senator Joe Lieberman in the Lincoln Forum Bulletin (for one of his last media appearances) in 2024. He opened 2025 by unpacking his 2018 interview with President Jimmy Carter for NPR affiliate KQED.
