Katherine Rosman

Katherine Rosman was born in Detroit and raised in the city’s suburbs. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1994. After college, she moved briefly to Washington, D.C. where she did an undistinguished turn as a receptionist at a law firm. From there she headed to New York City and got a job as a glorified Girl Friday at Elle magazine. No one fetched low-fat grande lattes with more aplomb.

After more than two years spent making sure “chic” and “from day to night” didn’t excessively appear in the magazine’s table of contents, she was hired to report for a start-up magazine whose mission was to go behind-the-scenes in the world of media, Brill’s Content.

By 2000, she was working as a freelance magazine and newspaper reporter and filed dispatches for publications including the New Yorker, the New York Times, The Nation, Elle and New York magazine.

Katie was hired by the Wall Street Journal in late 2004 and has been reporting on pop-culture for the paper since.

She is married and has two kids. She lives in New York.
