## Graydon Carter: December 2002

## CHAPTER 36

Most monthly magazines operate at a leisurely pace-three weeks of coming up with ideas, assigning articles, and shooting the shit in the corporate kitchen followed by one frantic week when all the actual editing gets done. But this isn't the case at Vanity Fair, which runs hard-hitting investigative pieces along- side its glitzy celebrity profiles. There are also parties to plan and host-incredibly glamorous parties, including the annual Oscar-night bash, which is more fun and far more exclusive than the Academy Awards ceremony itself. Vanity Fair is an old, famous brand. But Carter is its public face, just as Anna Wintour is the face of Condé Nast's iconic fashion magazine, Vogue.
