Samantha Barry is
Editor in Chief of Glamour where she is
responsible for setting the voice and mission of the
publication.
As a young woman in
Ireland, Sam once dreamed of being a war
correspondent. Her early work in journalism took her all over
the world, including stints in Nigeria, Burma, Pakistan, Iraq,
Papua New Guinea, Burma, and many other turbulent locations where
she worked for the BBC, Intermedia and the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation.
Lucky for us here in
the States, she came to America in 2014 to head up social
media for CNN. Last year she began her stint at Glamour after being
recruited by the legendary Anna Wintour, longtime Editor in
Chief of Vogue. Ms. Wintour calls
Sam, “fearless … the perfect editor for a
new, more ambitious era of Glamour’s
future.
I met Sam in Conde
Nast's New York offices where we talked about her career, how
fashion magazines co-exist with consumerism, how Irish and
Americans attitudes toward money differ, and — of
course— where one can get the best pint of Guinness
in New York City.
