Trip Gabriel is an American journalist, best known for his creation, expansion and direction of the Styles sections" of The New York Times.
He worked for various magazines such as Rolling Stone, Outside, and GQ before taking a job at the Times in 1994 as a reporter for the Sunday Styles section. Eventually, he became editor of the section and also worked as the director of fashion news. Under his direction, the once struggling Styles section grew and developed into a multifaceted presentation of fashion, lifestyle, entertainment and celebrity news. Largely due to its success, the section split into two separate issues in 2007 with a separate section on both Thursdays and Sundays.
After 12 years guiding Styles, in February, 2010 Gabriel returned to reporting, covering education, including the series "Cheat Sheet" about academic plagiarism and other cheating by students and teachers. In June 2011 he joined the Times political team covering the 2012 presidential race, following the campaigns of Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
Famous quotes containing the words trip and/or gabriel:
“Put in hours and hours of planning, figure everything down to the last detail, then what? Burglar alarms start going off all over the place for no sensible reason. A gun fires of its own accord and a man is shot. And a broken-down old house no good for anything but chasing kids has to trip over us. Blind accidents. What can you do against blind accidents?”
—Ben Maddow (1909–1992)
“I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
