Alex Johnson – Journalist at Large

I’m a writer and editor for NBC News.

I’m from Atlanta and live in Bremerton, Wash., with my wife, Jenny, a minister and former newspaper editor.

You can find my Linked-In profile here. I’m on Bluesky at @malexjohnson.com.

Previous Gigs

• The Washington Post

• Knight-Ridder Washington, which no longer exists

• Congressional Quarterly

• The Charlotte Observer

• The State in Columbia, S.C.

I’ve also taught news writing and editing at the University of South Carolina and Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C.

Speaking

I speak at seminars and workshops and in classroom settings, and I’m available for such appearances in the Seattle area. I frequently present a program on Web-based news research; other topics include the online news industry, news writing and editing, feature writing and editing, copy editing, headline writing and managing a news team.
