In 1994, Roshan was hired by Kurt Andersen as Deputy Editor of
New York. He produced notable features, including the first interview with
Donatella Versace after her brother Gianni Versace's murder and the first post-impeachment interview with
Monica Lewinsky. In 2003, he received an Emmy for his work as Executive Producer of the New York Awards, a televised special on NBC. Later that year,
Tina Brown appointed Roshan as Editorial Director of
Talk magazine. Following an editorial overhaul, he was credited by
Adweek with "turning around the struggling publication, doubling circulation in ten months." Brown described him as "the only real natural male magazine editor of his generation." After
Talk ceased publication in 2002 due to the post-9/11 advertising downturn, Roshan launched
Radar, a monthly magazine focusing on politics and pop culture.
The New York Times hailed it as the year's most anticipated launch, with its first two test issues selling out nationwide. He secured $10 million in funding from investors including
Mort Zuckerman and
Jeffrey Epstein, with additional backing from Ron Burkle's Integrity Multimedia. Under his leadership,
Radar integrated print and online media, attracting 1.5 million unique visitors monthly. In May 2008,
Radar was nominated for a General Excellence award by the
American Society of Magazine Editors. In April 2011, Roshan launched TheFix.com, a daily website that became a leading addiction and recovery portal. In 2012, he founded Awesome Projects, a Los Angeles-based consultancy providing editorial services to companies including
The New York Times,
Yahoo!,
Snapchat,
The Hollywood Reporter, and Telepictures. In 2016, he became Chief Content Officer of FourTwoNine, a national LGBTQ-focused magazine and website. In 2019, Roshan was appointed Editor-in-Chief of
Los Angeles Magazine, serving until 2022. In 2023, he became Co-Editor-in-Chief of
The Hollywood Reporter, sharing the role with
Shirley Halperin. In 2025 he became the magazine’s sole Editor-in-Chief. ==References==
