Barnes described board members, who include DuBois Professor of the Humanitites Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr. and Washington Post publisher Donald E. Graham ’66, as a wonderful group of people.
Barnes joked that the main strength he would bring as chair of the board was “running meetings.”
Though Barnes has many fond memories of his time in Cambridge, his career in journalism—w-hich has included editing and writing stints at the Washington Post—did not start until after college.
After graduating with a degree in history, though, Barnes said he “needed a job”—so he took a position at the Providence (R.I.) Journal.
After a two-year stint in the Army, and eight years as a reporter, deputy metro editor and education editor at the Washington Post, Barnes started work at the St. Petersburg Times, where he has been the chief executive officer since 1988.
