Ronda Hauben covers the United Nations and UN related issues in her blog at taz.de, "Netizen Journalism and the New News". As a co-author with Michael Hauben of the book "Netizens: On the History and Impact of the Usenet and the Internet," she is interested in the impact the Internet and netizens can make in transforming our society. In her blog at taz.de she focuses on the potential of the Net and netizens to make possible a "netizen journalism." a journalism that has a socially oriented objective, a journalism which acts as a watchdog over the abuse of power, and which reports on grassroots models for a more participatory and inclusive society. Ronda was the recipient of the 2008 Silver Elizabeth Neuffer Memorial Prize for Excellence in Journalism in written media (including online media) for coverage of the UN and its agencies. She has covered the UN since 2006 as a resident correspondent, first for OhmyNews International, and more recently for taz.de, the online site for Tageszeitung. Ronda has written articles in English for Telepolis since 1998. She was a featured writer for OhmyNews International (OMNI) from 2004 to 2010. Her articles are publicly archived at OMNI, though the site is no longer an English language News site. In 2008 she began her blog at taz.de.

Escalating Tension on the Korean Peninsula and the Role of the UN Article describes the need for the UN to help to calm the tension on the Korean peninsula as it did with the Cheonan incident, rather than taking one side against the other. It also points to how the media fails to give the whole picture of what is happening, and instead paints a fictitous narrative much as it did in the run up to the US invasion of Iraq.
