Before joining The Boston Globe in 2023, Barnes was the chief news executive at NPR.[5] Prior jobs include editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune from 2003 to 2013 and editor and executive vice president of news for the Houston Chronicle between 2013 and 2018.[6][4]
In 2013, while Barnes was editor at the Star Tribune the paper won the Pulitzer Prize for local news for reporting on infant deaths at day care facilities. It also won the Gerald Loeb Award for Breaking News and two 2013 Edward R. Murrow Awards for multimedia journalism.[4][7]
