CATHIE BLACK became first woman publisher of a weekly consumer magazine, New York, in 1979.

When Cathleen Black entered room 607B at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, she smiled graciously and took her seat, careful not to interrupt the class's conversation about the social habits of the New York media. Black expressed interest in hearing what the students had to say, nodding as they spoke. Yes, there is a media establishment, she finally said, and yes, they do socialize: "I was just at The Pierre for lunch today."
