In 2017, his commitment to journalistic excellence was recognized with a regional Edward R. Murrow Award and a New York Emmy® for NBC 4 New York’s team coverage of the 2017 Tribeca terror attacks.
During the week, Rosendale covers breaking news throughout the Tri-State area. He has also covered the Boston Marathon bombing and the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The proud son of a New York City Firefighter, Rosendale has also contributed to NBC 4’s extensive coverage of issues important to first responders and their families, including passage of the federal Zardoga Act and the renewal of the Victim’s Compensation Fund.
