Barr has led the broadcast TV division of Graham Holdings since 2012. Under her leadership, Graham Media Group was named B C's 2016 Station Group of the Year.

She was inducted into the 2016 Silver Circle of the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Chicago-based Graham Media Group comprises seven local media hubs, Graham Digital and Social News Desk, delivering local news, programming, advertising solutions and digital media tools for television, online, mobile, OTT, podcasts and audio devices. GMG operates in six states: KPRC Houston, WDIV Detroit and WSLS Roanoke (NBC); KSAT San Antonio (ABC); WKMG Orlando (CBS); WJXT Jacksonville (fully local) and WCWJ Jacksonville (CW). Based in Detroit, Graham Digital is a digital media and technology development group widely recognized as a leading industry innovator.
