In 2005 Mosinzon returned to the media and held a number of positions such as Content Manager for the Logia Group and Head of the Development Department in Matar Productions. In this position she created, along with Ma’ayan Blum and Oded Semo, the “Makom Le-Da’aga” sketch comedy show that was characterised by its nonsensical and black comedy style.

HaYarkon Seventy[edit]
In 2007 Mosinzon rented, along with Rona Keinan, a floor in an apartment building located in HaYarkon Street number 70 in Tel-Aviv. Throughout the years the location became an open apartment for artists that held various culture and music related exhibits and events.
Ten years later the creative haven expanded and became the “Halalit BaYarkon 70” (The Spaceship at HaYaron St. 70) a gallery that combined old, such as Amos Keinan and Uri Lifschitz and new such as Uri Gershoni, Yochai Matos, Adi Nes and Rafat Hatab.
In 2000 Mosinzon established the “Kvish 40” (Road 40) magazine “for and on the culture and environment of Israel’s southern villages”. Since 2004, Mosinzon has held the position of chief editor of the “HaYarkon 70 News Company” - a weekly news program. The program was independently produced, free of charge, by a group of a few dozen media professionals - reporters, editors, directors, photographers, journalists, producers and designers such as Linoy Bar-Geffen, Nesli Barda, Itay Anghel, Aviv Lavi, Gal Gabai, Meron Rapoport and more.
In 2012 Mosinzon received the Pratt Award for environmental journalism. In 2016 she received the “Walking Man” award for independent and fearless Israeli media and for devoted voluntary instruction of young writers and artists. From 2007-2015 Mosinzon managed the Halalit Gallery in Tel-Aviv. The gallery hosted artists, performance art, exhibitions, reading events and writers and served as a magnetic cultural hub and open space for intellectuals, artists and cultural entrepreneurs.
In the summer of 2015, Mosinzon established the “Halalit TV”, a cultural-educational-social media outlet whose purpose is to preserve the past, document the present and produce the future. The channel hosts the People's News Company, and the Consolidation of Independent Media Initiatives.
