Early life and education

Katherine Rosman was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Bob Rosman and the late Suzanne "Suzy" Rosin, who remarried to Robert Rosin in her daughter's youth. [4] Her maternal grandfather, Leo Goldberg, was a renowned scientist. She graduated from the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She has three sisters, all of whom grew up in the Detroit area. Her mother, Suzy Rosin (1944–2005), was the basis of her 2008 book. Along with Rosman, her sister, Elizabeth, also graduated from the University of Michigan, and their parents met at the university and graduated there.

She is of Polish Jewish descent, maternally. Paternally, she is of Russian-Jewish descent. Her paternal grandfather, Carl Rosman (1914–2005), arrived at Ellis Island on August 4, 1922, on the S.S. Berengaria with his parents Emanuel and Rose and his sisters Irma and Berta from Transylvania. On other sides of the family, she is of Sephardic descent from Spain, Italy, and other Southeastern European countries; from Purcăreni, and other Ashkenazi and Sephardic regions.

Career

Rosman moved to New York City and became an assistant to Elaina Richardson at Elle magazine. In 2004, she was hired as a staff reporter by The Wall Street Journal. In 2014, she joined the staff of The New York Times. She is the author of the memoir, If You Knew Suzy, published by HarperCollins in 2010. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Rosman was a finalist in the feature category for the Gerald Loeb Awards for her story, "The Itsy-Bitsy, Teenie-Weenie, Very Litigious Bikini". [10] [11] She has been written about by the Harvard Business Review [12] based on her "Survival Guide to Journalism in the Social Media Age". In February 2019, a story by Rosman caused a Times reporter and photographer to be disinvited from the Vanity Fair Oscar party. [13] Dylan Byers, a senior media reporter at NBC and MSNBC tweeted, "I have decided not to attend this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party in light of their decision to ban the [New York Times] on account of their very legitimate reporting. The decision to ban the Times because of critical reporting is incongruous with journalistic values Vanity Fair claims to uphold." [14] A Times reporter, Edmund Lee, also tweeted of the event, "After great reporting by [Katherine Rosman and Brooks Barnes] on Vanity Fair Oscars party, Conde Nast saw fit to ban Times reporters from covering the event. This, from a publication that touts journalism." [15] Others protested the event as well. She also starred in a 2019 documentary called Secrets of Sugar Baby Dating, [16] directed by Joyce Trozzo in relation to a story she wrote an article called "A 'Sugar Date' Gone Sour" [17] on October 15, 2018, then "The 'Sugar Dater'" [18] on October 19, 2018, followed by more.

In recent years, Rosman has covered a wide variety of topics including Jay Z, his entertainment agency, Roc Nation, the #MeToo movement, abortion access for disabled persons, and the National Football League. [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]

Rosman continues to write about current events, publishing a fluctuating amount of articles in The New York Times each month. In January 2023, The New York Times announced that Rosman would depart from the Styles section "after a run of enthralling stories" and move to the Metro section.
