For years, there’s been talk about how the publishing industry is in decline. But the demand for content has never been higher.

 

So it’s up to publishers to adapt—which is where today's guest Samantha Barry comes in. Since leaving her post as the head of social media at CNN to take on the role of editor-in-chief of Glamour Magazine in 2016, the editor has been at the forefront of the industry’s shift from print to digital.

Shortly after she took the reins at Glamour, the publication announced the end of its monthly print edition—and she’s since led the brand to amass digital accomplishments. I'm happy to virtually sit down with Samantha to talk about her impressive career, from how she made the pivot from news to women’s media to why culture-pushing content is at the core of Glamour’s digital-first strategy and what the future holds for the next generation of journalists.
