Levine to cover privacy and data protection for Politico

Alexandra Levine

Politico reporter Alexandra Levine is moving to a new beat covering privacy and data protection.

“I’ll be following the push for rules governing the collecting, sharing and monetizing of Americans’ information — and tensions between what’s going on at the state, federal and international levels,” she wrote on Twitter.

Levine currently covers the intersection of technology, government and public policy, and she is the author of Politico’s popular daily newsletter, Morning Tech.

Prior to joining Politico in 2019, Levine was a Metro reporter at The New York Times, where she spent three years at the helm of the New York Today column and contributed enterprise stories to the National, Travel and Style sections.

She earned a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor of arts in English from the University of Pennsylvania. She is also an alumna of the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics, a program in Germany and Poland that explores the ethics of reporting on politics, war and genocide.
