Editor Barribeau leaving Wirecutter

Tim Barribeau

Tim Barribeau, an editor at The Wirecutter, is leaving at the end of the week.

He had been at the shopping and tech website, owned by The New York Times, for more than nine years.

“Not sure what’s next for me, but a few weeks of a whole lot of nothing is going to be the start,” he wrote on Twitter.

Barribeau was in charge of pets and carry coverage — the latter is anything you might take with you on the way out the door. He had also been in charge of camera coverage.

He had previously been a contributor to Popphoto.com and Imaging Resources. Barribeau is a University of Chicago graduate.
