Washington Post’s Alexander hired as Bloomberg Industry editor at large

Bloomberg Industry Group announced Thursday that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Keith L. Alexander is joining the organization as editor-at-large.

Alexander was most recently longtime crime and courts reporter at The Washington Post. Alexander’s reporting at Bloomberg Law will drive the conversation about top legal stories, getting ahead of the cases, trends, people, and legal strategies that lawyers are talking about.

Alexander spent more than 24 years at The Post, where he covered crime and D.C. Superior Court. He was part of the team that won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the January 6 Capitol attack, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for the “Fatal Force” investigation into police shootings, and was a contributor to the 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Virginia Tech campus shootings.

Alexander is also four-time National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) award winner and Livingston Award finalist. Alexander is a graduate of Howard University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism.

“Keith brings his wealth of legal-reporting experience, tremendous enthusiasm and a passion for storytelling to Bloomberg Law,” Bloomberg Industry Group editor in chief Cesca Antonelli said in a statement. “We are building the go-to resource for legal professionals. Keith’s ability to uncover and dissect pivotal legal developments will empower our readers with actionable insights in a rapidly changing landscape.”
