In the early nineties, Nick became a freelance journalist, primarily writing for The Times and The Guardian. It was during this period that he met Katharine Hamnett and co-founded the short lived eco magazine TOMORROW.

In 1992, Rosen formed a TV production company, Vivum, and began to make documentaries for the ITV First Tuesday series. In 1992-3 he produced Brezhnev's Daughter, a documentary about the way the Nomenklatura were coming to terms with the new order in Russia. It won Best International Production prize at the NY Film and TV Festival.

Rosen wrote "The Durlacher Report" which became the base document in many of the early Internet IPOs, such as Demon, Pipex and Easynet^{[citation needed]}, and followed this with The Net-Head Handbook, a satire about the dawning of the internet.

In 2004, Rosen produced Sacred Ground, the fight for Ground Zero, for PBS and Channel 4 – a film about the battle to build a meaningful memorial at Ground Zero, and in 2006 he produced Britain’s Commuter Nightmare, a one-hour documentary for Channel 4 Dispatches.

His other ventures as start-ups included The Online Research Agency Limited which in its short life produced one considerable work "Business.eu" - a report focused on online business in Europe. Online Research Agency was wound up in an orderly manner in 2001, shortly after Rosen had sold the domain name 'itv.com' to the ITV company Granada for approximately £100,000; he had registered it to himself back in 1994.^[9] In 2000, Rosen had been taken to the WIPO domain tribunal by another media company, XFM radio, after Rosen had registered the domain name 'xfm.com' in 1996 via his company Intervid Limited; the panel concluded that "the onus lies on the complainant...it is felt that it has not done quite enough to shift that onus. In view of the above, the claim for relief is denied."^[10] In autumn 1995, the International Times editor and publisher, Chris Brook, threatened legal proceedings via David Wineman solicitors over another domain name issue; Rosen then claimed a 'mistake' had been made and the issue was settled.^[11]

In 1999 he met his wife, artist Fiona Banner. They married in 2005 and have a young daughter.

He is the son of scientist Dennis Rosen.
