comes up with her own story ideas.
To write about the media can be
very touchy," says this investigative
journalist, whose writing talents were
encouraged by teachers at Andover
High School. "First, reporters are used
to being on the other side of the tape
recorder and also because enraged
advertisers can have a huge financial
impact on the magazine.
"The Bonnie Fuller story was diffi-
cult because it was very hard to get
people to talk honestly about one of

magazines. As far as the writing goes, it
was a 10-page story, and I had just
come out of Elle, where my longest
article was one page. It was a big jump,
and the actual story that was published
was a collaborative effort between me
and the various editors here."
After Rosman graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1994, she
was not quite sure how to use her
writing skills. She took odd jobs in
Washington to be close to her sister,

Since leaving sales behind, Kogan
feels uneasy reporting negative informa-

"I end up feeling protective of the

she says. "I need to put that aside and

Kogan volunteers one day a month

peels potatoes, makes lasagna and serves
meals. She recently bought an apart-

fire while having friends for dinner.
"Now that,I have a fireplace, that

becomes serious. "It took me a long
