Improving and protecting journalism since 1909

Diana DeRosa is a veteran equestrian photo journalist (writer and photographer), who has traveled the world and has recorded equestrian history for close to 30 years. An accomplished rider herself, De Rosa understands the horse world from many different angles. A language major in college, De Rosa went on to run a riding school, then was editor of an equine magazine for 13 years and eventually focused on her writing and photography. She has over 1000 published stories and photos to her credit. A long time member of The International Alliance of Equestrian Journalists, De Rosa has been one of the few journalists to be credentialed to cover the past six Olympic Games (including being on assignment for USA Today for the 1992 Olympics). She has also covered or been on staff at every World Equestrian Games, numerous Pan American Games and World Cups. Besides being a writer and photographer, De Rosa also owns her own PR firm called Press Link. Some of her past and present clients include the Washington International Horse Show, The Manhattan Mortgage Company, DreamWorks, the American Hunter-Jumper Foundation, and 20th Century Fox. For ten years De Rosa co-hosted the annual Hampton Classic Horse Show for the local Hamptons’ TV Station WVVH. She also does some radio reporting and voiceovers. De Rosa enjoys bringing life to her many equestrian stories through her camera lense and keyboard. For eight years until his death on October 11, 2004, I also worked with Christopher Reeve. She is well versed in working with high profile clients with a need for privacy. She is also familiar with the special needs of people with disabilities. Additionally De Rosa is very skillful at writing, designing and creating an incredible press kit. She can even take the photos to support it. Email her for samples of her press kits.
