Ep 262 Glamour Editor-In-Chief Samantha Barry

November 29, 2018

When Cork woman Samantha Barry took over at the helm of the US magazine Glamour this year, she became only its 8th editor since it was first printed in 1939. Anna Wintour, who brought her on board, has described her as "fearless", she counts Amal Clooney as one of her closest friends (since long before George was on the scene), and she has had a distinguished career in journalism at the BBC and CNN. But since her appointment as Glamour editor-in-chief, Samantha has shaken things up at the magazine, recently hitting the headlines for her decision to cease its monthly publication schedule and develop it as a digital product. Samantha was in Dublin to appear at An Post's annual Early Bird Breakfast event and she sat down with Róisín Ingle while she was here to talk about this and lots more.
