Claim your profileI got my start in journalism in a small Minnesota town then moved to a weekly paper in the suburbs where I covered just about everything that moved. I spent a year in Las Vegas reporting on the pandemic and protests following George Floyd's death until I decided to take a job back in Minnesota at the Star Tribune. At Minnesota's largest newspaper, I've covered the night cops beat, homes and gardens and occasionally write variety pieces exploring modern dating, marijuana and the bounds of artificial intelligence. I occasionally help our social media team produce videos to accompany my stories and sometimes tweet. Follow my social media profiles at @alexchhith on Twitter, Threads and Instagram. I am part of the 2024 Asian American Journalists Association's Executive Leadership Fellowship learning the ins and outs of negotiating and what good leadership looks like.
