Profile Name: Alan Rosenblatt, Ph.D. Organization: Internet Advocacy Center Title: Executive Director Biography: Alan J. Rosenblatt is the Executive Director of the Internet Advocacy Center and a long-time veteran in the field of e-politics. He is a frequent lecturer and has published many articles on cyberpolitics. He provides strategic consulting, training, and research services related to politics, advocacy, and governance in the digital age. Prior to launching the Internet Advocacy Center, Dr. Rosenblatt served as Director of Training Programs at e-advocates, an Internet advocacy firm affiliated with Capitol Advantage, maker of Capwiz, from 2003 to 2005. As Director of Training Programs, he trained public affairs professionals how to use the Internet to achieve their public policy goals, provided e-advocacy strategy consulting and management services, as well as developed new business opportunities for the firm. From 2001 to 2003, Dr. Rosenblatt served as Vice President for Online Advocacy Services at Stateside Associates. He was responsible for creating and managing the first practice in the nation exclusively devoted to using the Internet as a tool to shape state and local public policy. He also wrote The Online Advocate, a monthly newsletter on Internet advocacy strategy. In 1997, Dr. Rosenblatt was part of the core team that founded Media Bureau Networks (MBN), a streaming media industry leader based in Philadelphia. Under his project management as Washington Bureau Chief, MBN webcasted live coverage from the 2000 Republican and Democratic presidential nominating conventions. With programming that included live interviews with the Reverend Jerry Falwell, George P. Bush, Steve Forbes, Jr., and Ted Nugent, MBN was featured in Time magazine, as well as on ABC’s Nightline, WashingtonPost.com, and in major newspapers around the nation. Dr. Rosenblatt served on the Government and Politics faculty at George Mason University for nine years, where he was one of the very first in the nation to introduce the study of Internet politics to university students. He started teaching The Politics of Cyberspace in the spring of 1995—less than a year after Netscape first brought the World Wide Web to the masses—and taught the course for six years. Dr. Rosenblatt has a B.A. in Political Science and Philosophy from Tufts University, an M.A. in Political Science from Boston College, and a Ph.D. in Political Science from American University.
