Samantha Barry has been named as the new editor-in-chief of the Condé Nast publication Glamour.
The Cork woman will be the eighth editor to take on the role and the role will put her at the helm of one of the word's most popular media brands.
Ms Barry began her career working the graveyard shift in RTE, before jumping ship to the BBC and eventually moving on to her last position - executive producer for social and emerging media at CNN Worldwide.
