Greetings. I'm Trey Barrineau, an experienced editor and writer in the Washington, D.C., area whose work has appeared in USA TODAY and elsewhere.
I'm currently a research editor with the Institute for Justice (IJ), a nonprofit, public interest law firm whose mission is "to end widespread abuses of government power and secure the constitutional rights that allow all Americans to pursue their dreams." I play a key role in the editing, production, promotion, and distribution of IJ’s social science and policy research reports. These are written for a broad audience that includes journalists, policy advocates, legislators, judges, academics, and the general public. I joined IJ in August 2023. From August 2018 to August 2023, I was the managing editor at NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. I oversaw all aspects of editing and production for Development magazine, and I also wrote articles and blog posts as needed. During my time there, Development won 23 global, national, and regional awards for editorial excellence, and in 2021, the publication was a finalist for Magazine of the Year in the American Society of Business Publication Editors' Azbee Awards of Excellence. From December 2014 to August 2018, I was with Key Media & Research. I wrote and edited a wide range of content as the editor of Door and Window Market (DWM) magazine, curated and produced a daily e-mail newsletter for industry stakeholders, managed the publication's social media accounts, and made frequent appearances in video newscasts. While there, DWM won six national and regional awards for editorial excellence, and Slate praised the magazine in a November 2016 article about trade publications. And from September 2000 to December 2014, I was a multiplatform editor at USA TODAY. In that role, I edited a broad array of digital and print content, from the iconic national daily newspaper to specialty publications. I also wrote blog entries and stories, managed the Life website's presentation on mobile and desktop platforms, and created posts for USA TODAY's branded social media accounts. During my time there, I was honored multiple times for outstanding headlines. Got a question? Reach out to me on social media or via e-mail. And thanks for stopping by.
