Alex Nieves’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I cover agriculture and trade policy as an editorial intern for POLITICO. I'm also a politics reporter for Richmond Confidential, a hyper-local news site covering a city of over 100,000 people, and a graduate student studying new media at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

Before coming to Berkeley, I completed a one-year fellowship at Sports Illustrated and interned with NBC Nightly News, Southern California News Group, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the Santa Clarita Valley Signal.
