Alcindor writes mainly about politics and social issues.

Early life and education

Alcindor was born in Miami, Florida, to Haitian-born parents.[7][8] When she was in high school, she was an intern at the Westside Gazette, a local African-American newspaper, and the Miami Herald (2005).[9][10] She earned a bachelor's degree in English and government with a minor in African-American studies at Georgetown University in 2009.[10] While studying, she became a member of the predominantly African-American sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, and she interned at The Seattle Times (2006), the Miami Herald again (2007), the Botswanan newspaper Mmegi (2008), and The Washington Post (2009).[8][10][11] She aspired to become a civil rights journalist, and was inspired by African-American journalist Gwen Ifill and contemporary newspaper reporting surrounding Emmett Till.[8] In 2015, Alcindor received a master's degree in "broadcast news and documentary filmmaking" at New York University.[5]

Career

Alcindor's first full-time job was as a reporter at Newsday, a newspaper based in Melville, New York.[8] She was employed there for two years covering, among other things, the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Alcindor became a multimedia reporter for USA Today in December 2011 to cover national breaking news.[12] For the newspaper, Alcindor reported on, among other things, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the killing of Trayvon Martin, the Ferguson unrest, and the Baltimore protests.[5] In 2013, Alcindor began to contribute to NBC News and MSNBC as a guest.[13] Programs she appeared on include Morning Joe, The Rachel Maddow Show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and Meet the Press.[14][15][16][17][18]

She left USA Today to work for The New York Times as a national political reporter in November 2015. At The New York Times, Alcindor covered the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.[5] She also produced a documentary called The Trouble with Innocence (2015) about a man who was wrongly convicted of murder.[19] Alcindor also appeared in the 2018 television series The Fourth Estate about Times staff covering the first 100 days of the Trump presidency.

In January 2018, Alcindor was named White House correspondent of the PBS NewsHour, replacing John Yang, who was named the NewsHour's national correspondent.[5] In this position, Alcindor first covered the Trump presidency.[5] During the 2020 presidential election season, she was one of the moderators of the sixth Democratic debate. Erik Wemple of The Washington Post reported President Donald Trump has repeatedly insulted Alcindor at White House press conferences.[20] Alcindor received the 2020 Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage from the White House Correspondents' Association.[21]

In May 2021, Alcindor became the new moderator of Washington Week.[6][22]

In January 2022, Alcindor left PBS NewsHour and, in March 2022, began work as a Washington correspondent for NBC News.[23]
