My tasks expanded quickly from reporting to writing features, photographing, and assisting in graphic design. A comment in Finnish by Jorma Kemiläinen, the then-editor-in-chief:"Minulla on ollut ilo työskennellä Anu Piipon kanssa samassa Hevosurheilu-lehden toimituksessa kolmisen vuotta. Anu aloitti maan johtavan hevosalan ammatti- ja harrastelehden toimittajana 1.2.1996, minä saman lehden päätoimittajana kaksi kuukautta myöhemmin. Hänet oli palkattu yleistoimittajaksi tekemään erikoisjuttuja muistakin aiheista kuin raveista ja pelaamisesta ja tuomaan samalla naisnäkökulmaa miehiseen toimitukseen. Alkuperäinen idea oli hyödyntää hänen vahvuuksiaan lehden journalistisen sisällön laventamisessa, mutta kuten helposti käy, arkiset kiireet syrjäyttävät helposti ihanteet. Anu pääsi toteuttamaan vahvinta osaamistaan liian harvoin. Sitä edustivat laajat, pohdiskelevat näkökulmajutut, joissa hevosalan ilmiöitä peilattiin laajempia yhteiskunnallisia valtavirtoja vasten. Näiden juttujen otsikot kertovat ehkä parhaiten, mistä oli kysymys: ”Kumppanuuskulttuuria etsimässä”, ”Ääneenajattelua todesta, rahasta ja journalismista” sekä ”Sananvapauden ojanpohjat ja pilvilinnat”. Ne käsittelivät mm. raviurheilun imagoa, keskustelukulttuuria ja journalismin pelisääntöjä laajemmassa yhteiskunnallisessa katsannossa. Merkittävä oli myös hänen kirjoittamansa neliosainen juttusarja ”Naiset ja ravit”, joka valotti tyttöjen ja naisten rooleja hevosalalla eri näkökulmista. Anu oli pätevä ja luotettava toimittaja ”rutiinitehtävissäkin”, mutta kuten sanottu, olosuhteiden pakosta mahdollisuuksia jäi valitettavan paljon myös käyttämättä."

I started as a research assistant in the Faculty of Educational Sciences at Helsinki University. The aim of the study was to gain in-depth information about teachers' experiences at work. Soon after starting in the position, I was offered a permanent job and, as a result, I handed the project over to another assistant. Until then, my tasks included designing the project together with the employer, e.g. drafting the questionnaire for the teachers.
